21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.

22 Take a bundle of hyssop and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and apply some of the blood in the basin to the lintel and the two doorposts. None of you is to go out of the doorway of his house until morning,

23 For the Lord will pass through to strike Egypt, and when he sees the blood on the top of the doorframe and the two side posts, then the Lord will pass over the door, and he will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses to strike you.

23 For (AH)the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the Lord will pass over the door and will (AI)not allow the (AJ)destroyer to come in to your houses to smite you.

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.

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 and the Israelites went away and did exactly as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.

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

Death Of Firstborn And Deliverance From Egypt

29 It happened at midnight -- the Lord attacked all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the prison, and all the firstborn of the cattle.

29 Now it came about at (AO)midnight that (AP)the Lord struck all (AQ)the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of (AR)cattle.

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.

29 Now at midnight the Lord struck every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the dungeon, and every firstborn of the livestock.(U)

29 And so at midnight the LORD struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the livestock.

30 Pharaoh got up in the night, along with all his servants and all Egypt, and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was no house in which there was not someone dead.

30 Pharaoh arose in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians, and there was (AS)a great cry in Egypt, for there was no home where there was not someone dead.

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 Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron in the night and said, "Get up, get out from among my people, both you and the Israelites! Go, serve the Lord as you have requested!

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 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 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 Also, take your flocks and your herds, just as you have requested, and leave. But bless me also."

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

32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; 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 were urging the people on, in order to send them out of the land quickly, for they were saying, "We are all dead!"

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 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 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 the yeast was added, with their kneading troughs bound up in their clothing on their shoulders.

34 So the people took (AX)their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls bound up in the 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 done as Moses told them -- they had requested from the Egyptians silver and gold items and clothing.

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 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 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, and they gave them whatever they wanted, and so they plundered Egypt.

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.

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 gave the people such favor in the Egyptians’ sight that they gave them what they requested. In this way they plundered the Egyptians.

36 The LORD had given the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, so that they gave them what they requested. As a result, they plundered the Egyptians.

37 The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about 600,000 men on foot, plus their dependants.

37 Now the (BA)sons of Israel journeyed from (BB)Rameses to Succoth, about (BC)six hundred thousand men on foot, aside from children.

39 They baked cakes of bread without yeast using the dough they had brought from Egypt, for it was made without yeast -- because they were thrust out of Egypt and were not able to delay, they could not prepare food for themselves either.

39 They baked the dough which they had brought out of Egypt into cakes of unleavened bread. For it had not become leavened, since they were (BF)driven out of Egypt and could not delay, nor had they (ag)prepared any provisions for themselves.

39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
