New Testament

Exodus 12:39-51 Modern English Version (MEV)

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.

47. All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

48. Now when a stranger sojourns with you and keeps the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it. And he shall be as one that is born in the land. However, no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.

49. The same law shall apply to him that is a native and to the stranger who sojourns among you.

50. So all the children of Israel did it. They did just as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron.

51. And that same day the Lord brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.
