²¹ Then Moses called all the elders of Israel together and told them, “·Get the animals [^LGo, select/separate lambs] for your families and ·kill [slaughter] the lamb for the Passover. ²² Take a ·branch of the hyssop plant [^La bunch of hyssop], dip it into the bowl filled with blood, and then ·wipe [smear; ^Ltouch] the blood on the ·sides and tops of the doorframes [doorposts and lintel]. No one may ·leave that [^Lgo out of the door of his] house until morning. ²³ When the Lord ·goes [passes; crosses] through Egypt to ·kill [strike down; ^Lplague] the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the ·sides and tops of the doorframes [doorposts and lintel], and he will ·pass over [12:13] that house. He will not let the ·one who brings death [destroyer] come into your houses and ·kill [strike; plague] you.
