Foundation Scripture
READER 1:
Ex 12:1-13
12:1 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt,
2 "This month is to be for you the first month, the
first month of your year.
3 Tell the whole
community of Israel
that on the tenth day of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family,
one for each household.
4 If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must
share one with their nearest neighbor, having taken into account the number of
people there are. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance
with what each person will eat.
5 The animals you choose must be year-old males without
defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats.
6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month,
when all the people of the community of Israel
must slaughter them at twilight.
7 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the
sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.
8 That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the
fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast.
9 Do not eat the meat raw or cooked in water, but roast it
over the fire--head, legs and inner parts.
10 Do not leave any of it till morning; if some is left till
morning, you must burn it. 11 This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak
tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand.
Eat it in haste; it is the LORD's Passover.
12 "On that same night I will pass through Egypt
and strike down every firstborn--both men and animals--and I will bring
judgment on all the gods of Egypt.
I am the LORD.
13 The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you
are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will
touch you when I strike Egypt.
