And take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that
is in the basin, and strike it upon the upper post and on the two
side posts, and see that none of you go out at the door of his
house until the morning. For the LORD will go about and smite
Egypt. And when he seeth the blood upon the upper door post and on
the two side posts, he will pass over the door and will not suffer
the destroyer to come into your house to plague you. Therefore see
that thou observe this thing, that it be an ordinance to thee, and
thy sons for ever. And when ye be come into the land which the
LORD will give you according as he hath promised, see that ye keep
this service. And when your children ask you what manner of
service is this ye do. Ye shall say: it is the sacrifice of the
LORD's passover, which passed over the houses of the children of
Israel in Egypt, as he smote the Egyptians and saved our houses.
Then the people bowed them selves and worshipped. And the children
of Israel went and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.
And at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of
Egypt: from the firstborn of Pharao that sat on his seat, unto the
firstborn of the captive that was in prison, and all firstborn of
the cattle.
