AND Yahuah spoke unto El-Mosheh and El-Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying,
This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
Speak ye unto all the assembly of Yashar'el, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for a house:
And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.
Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:
And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole multitude of the assembly of Yashar'el shall kill it in the evening.
And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.
And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and matstsah; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.
And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remains of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is Yahuah's Pecach.
For I will pass through the land of Mitsrayim this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Mitsrayim, both man and beast; and against all the elohai of Mitsrayim I will execute judgment: I am Yahuah.
And the blood shall be to you for a mark upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Mitsrayim.
And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to Yahuah throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance forever.
Seven days shall ye eat matstsah; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eats chamets from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Yashar'el.
And in the first day there shall be a holy assembly, and in the seventh day there shall be a holy assembly to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.
And ye shall guard the Feast of Matstsah; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Mitsrayim: therefore shall ye guard this day in your generations by an ordinance forever.
In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat matstsah, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.
Seven days shall there be no chamets found in your houses: for whosoever eats that which is with chamets, even that soul shall be cut off from the assembly of Yashar'el, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
Ye shall eat nothing with chamets; in all your habitations shall ye eat matstsah.
Then Mosheh called for all the elders of Yashar'el, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the Pecach.
And ye shall 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; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
For Yahuah will pass through to smite the Mitsriym; and when he sees the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, Yahuah will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
And ye shall guard this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.
And it shall come to pass, when ye are come to the land which Yahuah will give you, according as he has promised, that ye shall guard this service.
And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?
That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of Yahuah's Pecach, who passed over the houses of the children of Yashar'el in Mitsrayim, when he smote the Mitsriym, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
And the children of Yashar'el went away, and did as Yahuah had commanded Mosheh and Aharon, so did they.
And it came to pass, that at midnight Yahuah smote all the firstborn in the land of Mitsrayim, from the firstborn of Phar'oh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
And Phar'oh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Mitsriym; and there was a great cry in Mitsrayim; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
And he called for Mosheh and Aharon by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Yashar'el; and go, serve Yahuah, as ye have said.
Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
And the Mitsriym were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
And the children of Yashar'el did according to the word of Mosheh; and they borrowed of the Mitsriym jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
And Yahuah gave the people favor in the sight of the Mitsriym, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Mitsriym.
And the children of Yashar'el journeyed from Ra`amcec to Cukkoth about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
And they baked matstsah cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Mitsrayim, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Mitsrayim, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
Now the sojourning of the children of Yashar'el, who dwelt in the land of Mitsrayim and in the land of Kena`an, they and their fathers, was four hundred and thirty years.
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of Yahuah went out from the land of Mitsrayim.
It is a night to be much observed unto Yahuah for bringing them out from the land of Mitsrayim: this is that night of Yahuah to be observed of all the children of Yashar'el in their generations.
And Yahuah said unto Mosheh and Aharon, This is the ordinance of the Pecach: There shall no stranger eat thereof:
But every man's servant that is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof.
In one house shall it be eaten; you shall not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
All the assembly of Yashar'el shall keep it.
And when a stranger shall sojourn with you, and will keep the Pecach to Yahuah, 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: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
One Torah shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourns among you.
Thus did all the children of Yashar'el; as Yahuah commanded Mosheh and Aharon, so did they.
And it came to pass the selfsame day, that Yahuah did bring the children of Yashar'el out of the land of Mitsrayim by their armies.
