New Testament

Exodus 12:37-46 Modern English Version (MEV)

37. Then the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides children.

38. A mixed multitude also went up with them along with flocks and herds, a large amount of livestock.

39. They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened because they were driven out of Egypt and could not linger, nor had they prepared for themselves any food.

40. Now the sojourning of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.

41. And at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on the very day, all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.

42. It is a night to be observed to the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night for the Lord to be observed by all the children of Israel in their generations.

43. So the Lord said to Moses and Aaron: This is the ordinance of the Passover:No foreigner may eat of it.

44. But every man’s servant bought with money, when you have circumcised him, may eat it.

45. A foreigner or a hired servant shall not eat it.

46. In one house shall it be eaten. You shall not carry any of the flesh outside of the house, nor shall you break a bone of it.
