New Testament

Exodus 12:44-51 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

44. But every bought servant shall be circumcised, and so he may eat from it.

45. The newcomer and the hired hand shall not eat from it.

46. In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry its flesh outside, nor shall you break its bone.

47. The entire assembly of the sons of Israel shall do this.

48. And if any sojourner will be willing to cross over into your settlement, and to keep the Passover of the Lord, all his males shall first be circumcised, and then he shall celebrate the rite. And he shall be just like a native of the land. But if any man is not circumcised, he shall not eat from it.

49. The law shall be the same for the native born and for the settler who sojourns with you."

50. And all the sons of Israel did just as the Lord had instructed Moses and Aaron.

51. And on the same day, the Lord led the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their companies.
