Exodus 12:11-21 Young's Literal Translation Of The Holy Bible (YLT98)

11. `And thus ye do eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and ye have eaten it in haste; it is Jehovah's passover,

12. and I have passed over through the land of Egypt during this night, and have smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from man even unto beast, and on all the gods of Egypt I do judgments; I [am] Jehovah.

20. anything fermented ye do not eat, in all your dwellings ye do eat unleavened things.'
