Êxodo 12

21 Then Moses/I summoned all the leaders of the Israeli people. He/I said to them, "Each family should select a lamb and kill it, in order that you may eat it to celebrate the festival that will be called ‘Passover’. 22 Let the lamb’s blood drain into a basin. Get a bunch/sprig of ◄hyssop/a very leafy plant► and dip it in the blood. Then smear some of the blood on the doorposts and the ◄lintels/beams above the doorways► of your houses. The people in each house must all stay inside the house until the next morning. 23 When Yahweh goes throughout Egypt to kill the oldest male in each Egyptian family, he will see the blood on the ◄lintels/beams of your doorways►, and he will ignore and pass by those houses. He will not allow the angel who causes people to die to enter your houses and kill any of your oldest sons.
