Exo 12:43–51

12:43 Instructions for observing the ‘pass-over’

43 Then Yahweh told Mosheh (Moses) and Aharon (Aaron), “This is the statute of the ‘pass-over’: No foreigners may share in the meal that night, 44 unless it’s a slave that you bought and who’s been circumcised—45 no foreigner or hired helper can join in the meal. 46 Each animal must be eaten in only one house—don’t take any of the meat outside. And don’t break any of the animals bones.[ref] 47 Every Israeli must observe it, 48 and if someone is living among you and wants to join in Yahweh’s ‘pass-over’, then every male in their family must be circumcised. Only then will they be allowed to observe it, and then they should be considered like a native of the land. No uncircumcised person may eat it. 49 This one law will apply to both the natives, and those who live among you all.” 50 All the Israelis followed those instructions that Yahweh had given through Mosheh and Aharon, 51 and so on that very day, Yahweh took all the Israelis out of Mitsrayim (Egypt) grouped by their family divisions.
