Exodus 12:27-29

New American Standard Bible 1995

²⁷ you shall say, ‘It is a Passover sacrifice to ^(A)the Lord ^[a]who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He smote the Egyptians, but ^[b]spared our homes.’” ^(B)And the people bowed low and worshiped.

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

²⁹ Now it came about at ^(C)midnight that ^(D)the Lord struck all ^(E)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 ^(F)cattle.
