Exod 12:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh and to Aharon in the land of
Mitsrayim, saying,
Exod 12:2 “This month is the beginning of months for you, it is the first
month of the year for you.
Exod 12:3 “Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the tenth
day of this month each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to
the house of his father, a lamb for a household.
Exod 12:4 ‘And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his
neighbour next to his house take it according to the number of the beings,
according to each man’s need you make your count for the lamb.
Exod 12:5 ‘Let the lamb be a perfect one, a year old male. Take it from the
sheep or from the goats.
Exod 12:6 ‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month.
Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yisra’ĕl shall kill it between the
evenings.
Exod 12:7 ‘And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two
doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.
Exod 12:8 ‘And they shall eat the flesh on that night, roasted in fire – with
unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
Exod 12:9 ‘Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in
fire, its head with its legs and its inward parts.
Exod 12:10 ‘And do not leave of it until morning, and what remains of it
until morning you are to burn with fire.
Exod 12:11 ‘And this is how you eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on
your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the
Passover of יהוה.
Exod 12:12 ‘And I shall pass through the land of Mitsrayim on that night,
and shall smite all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both man and
beast. And on all the mighty ones of Mitsrayim I shall execute judgment. I am
.יהוה
Exod 12:13 ‘And the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you
are. And when I see the blood, I shall pass over you, and let the plague not
come on you to destroy you when I smite the land of Mitsrayim.
Exod 12:14 ‘And this day shall become to you a remembrance. And you
shall observe it as a festival to יהוה throughout your generations – observe it
as a festival, an everlasting law.
Exod 12:15 ‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. Indeed on the first
day you cause leaven to cease from your houses. For whoever eats leavened
bread from the first day until the seventh day, that being shall be cut off from
Yisra’ĕl.
Exod 12:16 ‘And on the first day is a set-apart gathering, and on the seventh
day you have a set-apart gathering. No work at all is done on them, only that
which is eaten by every being, that alone is prepared by you.
Exod 12:17 ‘And you shall guard the Festival of Unleavened Bread, for on
this same day I brought your divisions out of the land of Mitsrayim. And you
shall guard this day throughout your generations, an everlasting law.
Exod 12:18 ‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the
evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the
month in the evening.
Exod 12:19 ‘For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses, for if
anyone eats what is leavened, that same being shall be cut off from the
congregation of Yisra’ĕl, whether sojourner or native of the land.
Exod 12:20 ‘Do not eat that which is leavened – in all your dwellings you
are to eat unleavened bread.’ ”
Exod 12:21 And Mosheh called for all the elders of Yisra’ĕl and said to
them, “Go out and take lambs for yourselves according to your clans, and
slaughter the Passover lamb.
Exod 12:22 “And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood
that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood
that is in the basin, and you, none of you shall go out of the door of his house
until morning.
Exod 12:23 “And יהוה shall pass on to smite the Mitsrites, and shall see the
blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, and יהוה shall pass over the
door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you.
Exod 12:24 “And you shall guard this word as a law for you and your sons,
forever.
Exod 12:25 “And it shall be, when you come to the land which יהוה gives
you, as He promised, that you shall guard this service.
Exod 12:26 “And it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What does this
service mean to you?’
Exod 12:27 then you shall say, ‘It is the Passover slaughtering of יהוה, who
passed over the houses of the children of Yisra’ĕl in Mitsrayim when He
smote the Mitsrites and delivered our households.’ ” And the people bowed
their heads and did obeisance.
Exod 12:28 And the children of Yisra’ĕl went away and did so – as יהוה had
commanded Mosheh and Aharon, so they did.
Exod 12:29 And it came to be at midnight that יהוה smote all the first-born in
the land of Mitsrayim, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to
the first-born of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the first-born of
livestock.
Exod 12:30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants, and all
the Mitsrites. And there was a great cry in Mitsrayim, for there was not a
house where there was not a dead one.
Exod 12:31 Then he called for Mosheh and Aharon by night, and said,
“Arise, go out from the midst of my people, both you and the children of
Yisra’ĕl. And go, serve יהוה as you have said.
Exod 12:32 “Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go.
Then you shall bless me too.”
Exod 12:33 And the Mitsrites urged the people, to hasten to send them away
out of the land. For they said, “We are all dying!”
Exod 12:34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, having
their kneading bowls bound up in their garments on their shoulders.
Exod 12:35 And the children of Yisra’ĕl had done according to the word of
Mosheh, and they had asked from the Mitsrites objects of silver, and objects
of gold, and garments.
Exod 12:36 And יהוה gave the people favour in the eyes of the Mitsrites, so
that they gave them what they asked, and they plundered the Mitsrites.
Exod 12:37 And the children of Yisra’ĕl set out from Ra‛meses to Sukkoth,
about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides the little ones.
Exod 12:38 And a mixed multitude went up with them too, also flocks and
herds, very much livestock.
Exod 12:39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had
brought out of Mitsrayim, for it was not leavened, since they were driven out
of Mitsrayim, and had not been able to delay, nor had they prepared food for
themselves.
Exod 12:40 And the sojourn of the children of Yisra’ĕl who lived in
Mitsrayim was four hundred and thirty years.
Exod 12:41 And it came to be at the end of the four hundred and thirty years,
on that same day it came to be that all the divisions of יהוה went out from the
land of Mitsrayim.
Exod 12:42 It is a night to be observed unto יהוה for bringing them out of the
land of Mitsrayim. This night is unto יהוה, to be observed by all the children
of Yisra’ĕl throughout their generations.
Exod 12:43 And יהוה said to Mosheh and Aharon, “This is the law of the
Passover: No son of a stranger is to eat of it,
Exod 12:44 but any servant a man has bought for silver, when you have
circumcised him, then let him eat of it.
Exod 12:45 “A sojourner and a hired servant does not eat of it.
Exod 12:46 “It is eaten in one house, you are not to take any of the flesh
outside the house, nor are you to break any bone of it.
Exod 12:47 “All the congregation of Yisra’ĕl are to perform it.
Exod 12:48 “And when a stranger sojourns with you and shall perform the
Passover to יהוה, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near
and perform it, and he shall be as a native of the land. But let no
uncircumcised eat of it.
Exod 12:49 “There is one Torah for the native-born and for the stranger who
sojourns among you.”
Exod 12:50 And all the children of Yisra’ĕl did as יהוה commanded Mosheh
and Aharon, so they did.
Exod 12:51 And it came to be on that same day that יהוה brought the children
of Yisra’ĕl out of the land of Mitsrayim according to their divisions.

Exod 13:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Exod 13:2 “Set apart to Me all the first-born, the one opening the womb
among the children of Yisra’ĕl, among man and among beast, it is Mine.”
Exod 13:3 And Mosheh said to the people, “Remember this day in which
you went out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery. For by strength of
hand יהוה brought you out of this place, and whatever is leavened shall not be
eaten.
Exod 13:4 “Today you are going out, in the month Aḇiḇ.
Exod 13:5 “And it shall be, when יהוה brings you into the land of the
Kena‛anites, and the Ḥittites, and the Amorites, and the Ḥiwwites, and the
Yeḇusites, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with
milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.
Exod 13:6 “Seven days you eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is
a festival to יהוה.
Exod 13:7 “Unleavened bread is to be eaten the seven days, and whatever is
leavened is not to be seen with you, and leaven is not to be seen with you
within all your border.
Exod 13:8 “And you shall inform your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because
of what יהוה did for me when I came up from Mitsrayim.’
Exod 13:9 “And it shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a reminder
between your eyes, that the Torah of יהוה is to be in your mouth, for with a
strong hand יהוה has brought you out of Mitsrayim.
Exod 13:10 “And you shall guard this law at its appointed time from year to
year.
Exod 13:11 “And it shall be, when יהוה brings you into the land of the
Kena‛anites, as He swore to you and your fathers, and gives it to you,
Exod 13:12 that you shall pass over to יהוה every one opening the womb, and
every first-born that comes from your livestock, the males belong to יהוה.
Exod 13:13 “But every first-born of a donkey you are to ransom with a
lamb. And if you do not ransom it, then you shall break its neck. And every
first-born of man among your sons you are to ransom.
Exod 13:14 “And it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come,
saying, ‘What is this?’ then you shall say to him, ‘By strength of hand יהוה
brought us out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage.
Exod 13:15 ‘And it came to be, when Pharaoh was too hardened to let us go,
that יהוה killed every first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both the first-born of
man and the first-born of beast. Therefore I am slaughtering to יהוה every
male that open the womb, but every first-born of my sons I ransom.’
Exod 13:16 “And it shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between
your eyes, for by strength of hand יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim.”
Exod 13:17 And it came to be, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that
Elohim did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, though that
was nearer, for Elohim said, “Lest the people regret when they see fighting,
and return to Mitsrayim.”
Exod 13:18 So Elohim led the people around by way of the wilderness of
the Sea of Reeds. And the children of Yisra’ĕl went up armed from the land
of Mitsrayim.
Exod 13:19 And Mosheh took the bones of Yosĕph with him, for he certainly
made the children of Yisra’ĕl swear, saying, “Elohim shall certainly visit
you, and you shall bring my bones from here with you.”
Exod 13:20 And they departed from Sukkoth and camped in Ĕtham at the
edge of the wilderness.
Exod 13:21 And יהוה went before them by day in a column of cloud to lead
the way, and by night in a column of fire to give them light, so as to go by day
and night.
Exod 13:22 The column of cloud did not cease by day, nor the column of fire
by night, before the people.

Exod 14:1 And יהוה spoke to Mosheh, saying,
Exod 14:2 “Speak to the children of Yisra’ĕl, that they turn and camp before
Pi Haḥiroth, between Miḡdol and the sea, opposite Ba‛al Tsephon – camp
before it by the sea.
Exod 14:3 “For Pharaoh shall say of the children of Yisra’ĕl, ‘They are
entangled in the land, the wilderness has closed them in.’
Exod 14:4 “And I shall harden the heart of Pharaoh, and he shall pursue
them. But I am to be esteemed through Pharaoh and over all his army, and the
Mitsrites shall know that I am .יהוה” And they did so.
Exod 14:5 And it was reported to the sovereign of Mitsrayim that the people
had fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the
people. And they said, “Why have we done this, that we have let Yisra’ĕl go
from serving us?”
Exod 14:6 So he made his chariot ready and took his people with him.
Exod 14:7 And he took six hundred choice chariots, and all the chariots of
Mitsrayim with officers over all of them.
Exod 14:8 And יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh sovereign of Mitsrayim,
and he pursued the children of Yisra’ĕl, but the children of Yisra’ĕl went out
defiantly.
Exod 14:9 And the Mitsrites pursued them, and all the horses and chariots of
Pharaoh, and his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the
sea beside Pi Haḥiroth, before Ba‛al Tsephon.
Exod 14:10 And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Yisra’ĕl lifted
their eyes and saw the Mitsrites coming up after them. And they were greatly
afraid, so the children of Yisra’ĕl cried out to יהוה.
Exod 14:11 And they said to Mosheh, “Did you take us away to die in the
wilderness because there are no graves in Mitsrayim? What is this you have
done to us, to bring us up out of Mitsrayim?
Exod 14:12 “Is this not the word that we spoke to you in Mitsrayim, saying,
‘Leave us alone and let us serve the Mitsrites?’ For it would have been
better for us to serve the Mitsrites than to die in the wilderness.”
Exod 14:13 And Mosheh said to the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand still,
and see the deliverance of יהוה, which He does for you today. For the
Mitsrites whom you see today, you are never, never to see again.
Exod 14:14 “ יהוה does fight for you, and you keep still.”
Exod 14:15 And יהוה said to Mosheh, “Why do you cry to Me? Speak to the
children of Yisra’ĕl, and let them go forward.
Exod 14:16 “And you, lift up your rod, and stretch out your hand over the
sea and divide it, and let the children of Yisra’ĕl go on dry ground through
the midst of the sea.
Exod 14:17 “And I, see I am hardening the hearts of the Mitsrites, and they
shall follow them. And I am to be esteemed through Pharaoh and over all his
army, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Exod 14:18 “And the Mitsrites shall know that I am יהוה, when I am
esteemed through Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.”
Exod 14:19 And the Messenger of Elohim, who went before the camp of
Yisra’ĕl, moved and went behind them. And the column of cloud went from
before them and stood behind them,
Exod 14:20 and came between the camp of the Mitsrites and the camp of
Yisra’ĕl. And it was the cloud and the darkness, and it gave light by night,
and the one did not come near the other all the night.
Exod 14:21 And Mosheh stretched out his hand over the sea. And יהוה
caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the
sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.
Exod 14:22 And the children of Yisra’ĕl went into the midst of the sea on
dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their
left.
Exod 14:23 And the Mitsrites pursued and went after them into the midst of
the sea, all the horses of Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.
Exod 14:24 And it came to be, in the morning watch, that יהוה looked down
upon the army of the Mitsrites through the column of fire and cloud, and He
brought the army of the Mitsrites into confusion.
Exod 14:25 And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them
with difficulty. And the Mitsrites said, “Let us flee from the face of Yisra’ĕl,
for יהוה fights for them against the Mitsrites.”
Exod 14:26 Then יהוה said to Mosheh, “Stretch out your hand over the sea,
and let the waters come back upon the Mitsrites, on their chariots, and on
their horsemen.”
Exod 14:27 And Mosheh stretched out his hand over the sea, and the sea
returned to its usual flow, at the break of day, with the Mitsrites fleeing into
it. Thus יהוה overthrew the Mitsrites in the midst of the sea,
Exod 14:28 and the waters returned and covered the chariots, and the
horsemen, and all the army of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them, and
not even one was left of them.
Exod 14:29 And the children of Yisra’ĕl walked on dry ground in the midst
of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right and on their left.
Exod 14:30 Thus יהוה saved Yisra’ĕl that day out of the hand of the
Mitsrites, and Yisra’ĕl saw the Mitsrites dead on the seashore.
Exod 14:31 And Yisra’ĕl saw the great work which יהוה had done in
Mitsrayim, and the people feared יהוה, and believed יהוה and His servant
Mosheh.

Exod 15:1 Then Mosheh and the children of Yisra’ĕl sang this song to יהוה,
and spoke, saying, “I sing to יהוה, for He is highly exalted! The horse and its
rider He has thrown into the sea!
Exod 15:2 “Yah is my strength and song, and He has become my
deliverance. He is my Ĕl, and I praise Him – Elohim of my father, and I exalt
Him.
Exod 15:3 “ יהוה is a man of battle, יהוה is His Name.
Exod 15:4 “He has cast Pharaoh’s chariots and his army into the sea, and his
chosen officers are drowned in the Sea of Reeds.
Exod 15:5 “The depths covered them, they went down to the bottom like a
stone.
Exod 15:6 “Your right hand, O יהוה, has become great in power. Your right
hand, O יהוה, has crushed the enemy.
Exod 15:7 “And in the greatness of Your excellence You pulled down those
who rose up against You. You sent forth Your wrath, it consumed them like
stubble.
Exod 15:8 “And with the wind of Your nostrils the waters were heaped up,
the floods stood like a wall, the depths became stiff in the heart of the sea.
Exod 15:9 “The enemy said, ‘I pursue, I overtake, I divide the spoil, my
being is satisfied on them. I draw out my sword, my hand destroys them.’
Exod 15:10 “You did blow with Your wind, the sea covered them, they sank
like lead in the mighty waters.
Exod 15:11 “Who is like You, O יהוה, among the mighty ones? Who is like
You, great in set-apartness, awesome in praises, working wonders?
Exod 15:12 “You stretched out Your right hand, the earth swallowed them.
Exod 15:13 “In Your kindness You led the people whom You have
redeemed, in Your strength You guided them to Your set-apart dwelling.
Exod 15:14 “Peoples heard, they trembled, anguish gripped the inhabitants
of Philistia.
Exod 15:15 “Then the chiefs of Eḏom were troubled, the mighty men of
Mo’aḇ, trembling grips them, all the inhabitants of Kena‛an melted.
Exod 15:16 “Fear and dread fell on them, by the greatness of Your arm they
are as silent as a stone, until Your people pass over, O יהוה, until the people,
whom You have bought, pass over.
Exod 15:17 “You bring them in and plant them in the mountain of Your
inheritance, in the place, O יהוה, which You have made for Your own
dwelling, the set-apart place, O יהוה, which Your hands have prepared.
Exod 15:18 “ יהוה reigns forever and ever.”
Exod 15:19 For the horses of Pharaoh went with his chariots and his
horsemen into the sea, and יהוה brought back the waters of the sea upon them.
And the children of Yisra’ĕl went on dry ground in the midst of the sea.
Exod 15:20 And Miryam the prophetess, the sister of Aharon, took the
timbrel in her hand. And all the women went out after her with timbrels and
with dances.
Exod 15:21 And Miryam answered them, “Sing to יהוה, for He is highly
exalted! The horse and its rider He has thrown into the sea!”
Exod 15:22 And Mosheh brought Yisra’ĕl from the Sea of Reeds, and they
went out into the Wilderness of Shur. And they went three days in the
wilderness and found no water.
Exod 15:23 And they came to Marah, and they were unable to drink the
waters of Marah, for they were bitter. So the name of it was called Marah.
Exod 15:24 And the people grumbled against Mosheh, saying, “What are we
to drink?”
Exod 15:25 Then he cried out to יהוה, and יהוה showed him a tree. And when
he threw it into the waters, the waters were made sweet. There He made a
law and a right-ruling for them, and there He tried them.
Exod 15:26 And He said, “If you diligently obey the voice of יהוה your
Elohim and do what is right in His eyes, and shall listen to His commands
and shall guard all His laws, I shall bring on you none of the diseases I
brought on the Mitsrites, for I am יהוה who heals you.”
Exod 15:27 And they came to Ĕlim, where there were twelve fountains of
water and seventy palm trees. And they camped there by the waters.
