24. And ye shall observe this as an ordinance for thee and for thy sons for ever.
25. And it shall come to pass, when ye are come into the land that Jehovah will give you, as he has promised, that ye shall keep this service.
26. And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say to you, What mean ye by this service?
27. that ye shall say, It is a sacrifice of passover to Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses. And the people bowed their heads and worshipped.
28. And the children of Israel went away, and did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so did they.
29. And it came to pass that at midnight Jehovah smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.
30. And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his bondmen, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house in which there was not one dead.
31. And he called Moses and Aaron in the night, and said, Rise up, go away from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said.
32. Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and go; and bless me also.
33. And the Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead men!
34. And the people took their dough before it was leavened; their kneading-troughs bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35. And the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked of the Egyptians utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing.
