Exodus 12

Author's note: When I opened my word processor this morning to finish this chapter up, every word had red squiggly lines under them indicating they were misspelled, except the words "I AM LORD Yehovah". He is our deliverer!



CHAPTER 12
1 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) spoke to Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) in the land of Double Straights (Egypt), saying,
2 “This month will be to you the beginning of months: it will be the first month of the year to you.
3 Speak to all the congregation of God Prevails (Israel) , saying, In the tenth day of this month they will take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:
4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his appetite will make your count for the lamb.
5 Your lamb will be without blemish, a male of the first year. You will take it out from the sheep, or from the goats.
6 You will keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of God Prevails (Israel) will kill it in the evening.
7 They will take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they will eat it.
8 They will eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they will eat it.
9 Do not eat it raw, nor boiled with water, but roast it with fire; his head with his legs, and with the inner parts.
10 Let nothing of it remain until morning. If there is anything that will be left in the morning burn it with fire.
11 When you eat it, gird your loins. Have your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste: it is I AM's (the LORD, Yehovah) Passover.
12 Destruction will pass through the land of Double Straights (Egypt) this night, and will kill all the firstborn in the land of Double Straights (Egypt), both man and beast; and against all the gods of Double Straights (Egypt) judgment will be executed. I am I AM (the LORD, Yehovah).
13 The blood will be a sign on the houses. Where the blood can be seen the destruction will pass over you, and the plague will not destroy you, when the land of Double Straights (Egypt) is stricken.
14 This day will be a memorial to you; and you will keep it a feast to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) throughout your generations; you will keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.
15 Seven days you will eat unleavened bread. The first day you will put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul will be cut off from God Prevails (Israel) .
16 On the first day there will be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there will be a holy convocation to you; no manner of work will be done on them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done by you.
17 And you will observe the feast of unleavened bread; for on this day have I brought your armies out of the land of Double Straights (Egypt): therefore you will observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you will eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening.
19 Seven days there will be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eats that which is leavened, That soul will be cut off from the congregation of God Prevails (Israel) , whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
20 You will eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations you will eat unleavened bread.
21 Then Drawn (Moses) called for all the elders of God Prevails (Israel) , and said to them, Draw out and take a lamb according to your families, and kill the Passover.
22 Then take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin. Let none of you will go out at the door of his house until the morning.
23 For I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will pass through to strike the Double Straighters (Egyptians). When He sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two side posts, I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will pass over the door, and will not permit the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.
24 You will observe this thing as an ordinance to you and to your sons for ever.
25 It will come to pass, when you be come to the land which I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) will give you, just as He has promised, that you will keep this service.
26 And when your children will say to you, What mean you by this service?
27 You will say, It is the sacrifice of I AM's (the LORD, Yehovah) Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of God Prevails (Israel) in Double Straights (Egypt), when he struck the Double Straighters (Egyptians), and delivered our families. Then the people bowed the head and worshiped.
28 The children of God Prevails (Israel) went away, and did as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) had commanded Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron).
29 It came to pass, that at midnight I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) stuck all the firstborn in the land of Double Straights (Egypt), from the firstborn of the Great House (Pharaoh) that sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
30 Then the Great House (Pharaoh) rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Double Straighters (Egyptians); and there was a great cry in Double Straights (Egypt); for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
31 He called for Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron) by night, and said, “Rise up, and leave my people, both you and the children of God Prevails (Israel). Go, serve I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), as you have said.
32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also.”
33 The Double Straighters (Egyptians) begged the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, “We will all be dead men.”
34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35 So, the children of God Prevails (Israel) did according to the word of Drawn (Moses); and they borrowed of the Double Straighters (Egyptians) jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and clothing.
36 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) gave the people favor in the sight of the Double Straighters (Egyptians), so that they lent to them such things as they required. Thus they spoiled the Double Straighters (Egyptians).
37 The children of God Prevails (Israel) journeyed from Child of the Sun (Rameses) to Booths (Succoth)  about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
38 A mixed multitude also went up with them; and flocks, and herds, and very much cattle.
39 They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought out of Double Straights (Egypt). It was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Double Straights (Egypt), and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any food.
40 Now the time the children of God Prevails (Israel) dwelt in Double Straights (Egypt), was four hundred and thirty years.****
41 At the end of the four hundred and thirty years, that same day that all the hosts of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) left the land of Double Straights (Egypt).
42 It is a night to be observed unto I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) for bringing them out from the land of Double Straights (Egypt). This is that night of I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) to be observed by all the children of God Prevails (Israel) in their generations.
43 I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) said to Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron), “This is the ordinance of the Passover: There will no stranger eat thereof:
44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then will he eat thereof.
45 A foreigner and an hired servant will not eat thereof.
46 In one house will it be eaten; you will not take of the flesh outside of the house; neither will you break a bone thereof.
47 All the congregation of God Prevails (Israel) will keep it.
48 And when a stranger will live with you, and will keep the Passover to I AM (the LORD, Yehovah), let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he will be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person will eat thereof.
49 One law will be to him that is home born, and to the stranger that lives among you.
50 Thus did all the children of God Prevails (Israel) ; as I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) commanded Drawn (Moses) and Light Bringer (Aaron), so did they.
51 That selfsame day I AM (the LORD, Yehovah) brought the children of God Prevails (Israel) out of the land of Double Straights (Egypt) the whole host of them.
