22. And dip a bunch of hyssop in the blood that is at the door, and sprinkle the transom of the door therewith, and both the door cheeks: let none of you go out of the door of his house till morning.
23. For the Lord will pass through striking the Egyptians: and when he shall see the blood on the transom, and on both the posts, he will pass over the door of the house, and not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses and to hurt you.
24. Thou shalt keep this thing as a law for thee and thy children for ever.
25. And when you have entered into the land which the Lord will give you as he hath promised, you shall observe these ceremonies.
26. And when your children shall say to you: What is the meaning of this service?
27. You shall say to them: It is the victim of the passage of the Lord, when he passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, striking the Egyptians, and saving our houses. And the people bowing themselves, adored.
28. And the children of Israel going forth did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.
29. And it came to pass at midnight, the Lord slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharao, who sat on his throne, unto the firstborn of the captive woman that was in the prison, and all the firstborn of cattle.
30. And Pharao arose in the night, and all his servants, and all Egypt: for there was not a house wherein there lay not one dead.
31. And Pharao calling Moses and Aaron, in the night, said: Arise and go forth from among my people, you and the children of Israel: go, sacrifice to the Lord as you say.
32. Your sheep and herds take along with you, as you demanded, and departing, bless me.
33. And the Egyptians pressed the people to go forth out of the land speedily, saying: We shall all die.
34. The people therefore took dough before it was leavened: and tying it in their cloaks, put it on their shoulders.
35. And the children of Israel did as Moses had commanded: and they asked of the Egyptians vessels of silver and gold, and very much raiment.
36. And the Lord gave favour to the people in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them: and they stripped the Egyptians.
37. And the children of Israel set forward from Ramesse to Socoth, being about six hundred thousand men on foot, beside children.
38. And a mixed multitude without number went up also with them, sheep and herds and beasts of divers kinds, exceeding many.
39. And they baked the meal, which a little before they had brought out of Egypt, in dough: and they made earth cakes unleavened: for it could not be leavened, the Egyptians pressing them to depart, and not suffering them to make any stay: neither did they think of preparing any meat.
40. And the abode of the children of Israel that they made in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
41. Which being expired, the same day all the army of the Lord went forth out of the land of Egypt.
