15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the fast day ye lhall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that lbul shall be cut off from Israel.

16 And in the first day there Jhall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there mall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work mall be done in them, save that which every m-«-. must eat, that only may be done of you.

17 And ye shrill observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.

18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.

19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that foul shall be cut off' from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.

10 Ye {hall eat nothing leavened: in all your habitations shall ye cat unleavened bread.

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

22 And yc shall take a bunch of hystbp, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side .posts with the blood that is in the bafon: and none of you (hall go out at the door of his house until the morning.

23 For the Lo R D will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the twosideposts,theLoR D willpascovcrthe door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smits^-eu.

24 And ye (hall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee, and to thy sons for ever.

25 And it (hall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the Lord will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye (hall keep this service.

26 And it shall come to pass, when your children stiall lay unto you, What mean ye by this service?

27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice -of tilt- Lord's pastover, who passed

over the licufcs r.( the children of Israel

in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians and delivered our houses. And thepeo pie bowed the head and worshipped.

28 And the children of Israel wen away, and did as the Lord had com manded Moses and Aaron, so did they

29 ft And it came to pass, that ;i midnight the Lord smote all the first born in the land of Egypt, from the first born of Pharaoh that iat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive tha ■was in the dungeon; and all the first born of cattle.

jo And Pharaoh rose up in the night he, and all his servants, and all th Egyptians; and there was a great cry i: Egypt; for there was not a house wher there tuas not one dead.

31 fl And he called for Moses an Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, at: get you forth from among my peopk both ye and the children of Iirael: an go, serve the Lor D, as ye have said.

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

33 And the Egyptians were urgcri upon the people, that they might sen them out of the land in halle: for the said, We be all dead men.

34 And the people took their doug before it was leavened, their kneadin troughs being bound up in their clothe: upon their moulders.

. 3s And the children of Israel did ac cording to the word of Moses: and the borrowed of the Egyptians jewels c silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment

36 And the Lord gave the peopl favour in the sight of the Egyptians, ( that they lent unto them such thim as they required. And they spoiled tl Egyptians.

37 And the children of Israel journcj ed from Rameses to Succoth, about d hundred thousand on foot that •wet men, beside children.

38 And a mixed multitude went v also with them; and flocks, and herd even very much cattle.

39 And they baked unleavened cak of the dough, which they brought for) out of Egypt, for it was not leavenee because they were thrust out of Egyp and could not tarry, neither had tin prepared for themselves any victual.

40 Now the sojourning of the childr < of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was soi hundred and thirty years.

♦j It is a night to be much observed ana the Lo x. D, for bringing them out frcsi the Land of Egypt -. this is that night of the Lo R D to be observed of all the iiMren of Israel in their generations.

+5 And the Lo R D said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passcrer; There (hall nostrangereatthereof:

6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day jr.all be a feast to the Lord.

7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days: and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.

8 And thou (halt (hew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that •which the Lord did unto me, when I came forth out of Egypt.

9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes; that the Lord's law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.

10 Thou (halt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.

11 And it ihall be, when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he (ware unto thee, and to thy fathers, and (hall give it thee,

14. And it (hall be when thy (on afketh thee in lime to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt fay unto him, By strengthof hand theLoRnbroughtus out from Egypt, from the house of bondages

15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the Lord slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.

16 And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between. thine eyes: for by strength of hand the Lor.d brought us forth out of Egypt.

17 And it came to pass, when Prnraoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that tvas near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when tbiy see war, and they return to Errvpt;
