23. For the Lord will pass through to slay the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood upon the lintel and the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door and will not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to slay you.
24. You shall observe this rite for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.
25. When you come to the land which the Lord will give you, as He has promised, you shall keep this service.
26. When your children shall say to you, What do you mean by this service?
27. You shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover, for He passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He slew the Egyptians but spared our houses. And the people bowed their heads and worshiped.
28. The Israelites went and, as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
