23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.

25 When you enter the land that the LORD will give you, just as he promised, you are to observe this ritual.

26 When your children say to you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’

26 (AL)And when your children say to you, ‘(ab)What does this rite mean to you?’

26 When your children(S) ask you, ‘What does this ritual mean to you?’

26 And when your children say to you, "What does this ritual mean?'

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 struck the Egyptians, but spared our houses.’” And the people bowed [their heads] low and worshiped [God].

27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD'S passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.

27 you shall say, ‘It is a Passover sacrifice to (AM)the Lord (ac)who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He smote the Egyptians, but (ad)spared our homes.’” (AN)And the people bowed low and worshiped.

27 you are to reply, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice(T) to the Lord, for He passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and spared our homes.’” So the people bowed down and worshiped.

27 you are to say, "It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelis in Egypt when he struck down the Egyptians but spared our houses.'" Then the people bowed down and worshipped.

28 Then the Israelites went and did [as they had been told]: just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.

28 Then the sons of Israel went and did so; just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

28 The Israelis did this. Moses and Aaron did just what the LORD had commanded.

Death Of Firstborn And Deliverance From Egypt

29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

30 Pharaoh got up during the night, he, all his officials, and all the Egyptians, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, because there was not a house without someone dead in it.

Pharaoh Allows The Israelites To Leave Egypt

31 Then he called for Moses and Aaron at night and said, “Get up, get out from among my people, both you and the Israelites; and go, serve the Lord, as you said.

31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said.

31 Then (AT)he called for Moses and Aaron at night and said, “Rise up, (AU)get out from among my people, both you and the sons of Israel; and go, (ae)worship the Lord, as you have said.

31 He summoned Moses and Aaron during the night and said, “Get up, leave my people, both you and the Israelites, and go, worship Yahweh as you have asked.

31 Then he summoned Moses and Aaron during the night and told them: "Get up, go out from among my people, both you and the Israelis! Go, serve the LORD as you have said.

32 Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go, and [ask your God to] bless me also.”

32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.

32 Take (AV)both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go, and bless me also.”

32 Take even your flocks and your herds as you asked and leave, and also bless me.”

32 Take both your sheep and your cattle, just as you demanded and go! And bless me too!"

33 The Egyptians [anxiously] urged the people [to leave], to send them out of the land quickly, for they said, “We will all be dead.”

33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.

33 (AW)The Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, “We will all be dead.”

33 Now the Egyptians pressured the people in order to send them quickly out of the country, for they said, “We’re all going to die!”(W)

33 The Egyptian officials urged the people to send them out of the land quickly, because they were saying, "We'll all be dead!"

34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading bowls being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.

34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls wrapped up in their clothes on their shoulders.

34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls wrapped up in their cloaks on their shoulders.

35 Now the Israelites had acted in accordance with the word of Moses; and they had asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing.

35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:

35 (AY)Now the sons of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, for they had requested from the Egyptians articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing;

35 The Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for clothing.(X)

35 Meanwhile, the Israelis had done as Moses said; they had asked the Egyptians for objects of silver and objects of gold, and for clothes.

36 The Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they gave them what they asked. And so they plundered the Egyptians [of those things].

36 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

36 and the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have their request. Thus they (AZ)plundered the Egyptians.

46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.

46 It is to be eaten in a single house; you are not to bring forth any of the flesh outside of the house, (BO)nor are you to break any bone of it.

48 If a stranger living temporarily among you wishes to celebrate the Passover to the Lord, all his males must be circumcised, and then he may participate and celebrate it like one that is born in the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat it.

49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.

49 (ar)(BR)The same law shall (as)apply to the native as to the (at)stranger who sojourns among you.”
