1 And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying, 2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.
3 ¶ Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house: 4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb. 5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats: 6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening. 7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it. 8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it. 9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof. 10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.
11 ¶ And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the LORD’s passover. 12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. 13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you , when I smite the land of Egypt. 14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the LORD throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever. 15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel. 16 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you. 17 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.
18 ¶ In the first month , on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even. 19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land. 20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.
21 ¶ Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover. 22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning. 23 For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you . 24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever. 25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the LORD will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service. 26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service? 27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the LORD’s passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. 28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
29 ¶ And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle. 30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
31 ¶ And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the LORD, as ye have said. 32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. 33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men . 34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. 35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: 36 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required . And they spoiled the Egyptians.
37 ¶ And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children. 38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. 39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
40 ¶ Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. 41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. 42 It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
43 ¶ And the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof: 44 But every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. 45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof. 46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof. 47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. 49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you. 50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 51 And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the LORD did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
Pashas svētku iestādīšana
(4Moz 9:1–145Moz 16:1–8Ech 45:21–25)1 Kungs teica Mozum un Āronam Ēģiptes zemē: 2 “Šis mēnesis jums ir mēnešu sākums, tas jums ir pirmais no gada mēnešiem! 3 Runājiet uz visu Israēla sapulci: šā mēneša desmitajā dienā lai katrs sava tēva namā ņem jēru – pa jēram uz namu. 4 Un, ja nams par mazu, lai apēstu jēru, lai tie ņem kopā ar sava nama tuvākajiem kaimiņiem pēc ļaužu skaita – katrs lai ņem no jēra tik, cik apēdīs. 5 Lai tas ir tēviņš, gadu vecs, bez vainas! Ņemiet to no avīm vai kazām! 6 Turiet to līdz mēneša četrpadsmitajai dienai, un tad starp mijkrēsli un tumsu lai to kauj viss Israēla sapulces pulks! 7 Ņemiet asinis un noziediet visas durvju stenderes un aplodas namam, kurā jūs to ēdīsiet. 8 Tajā naktī ēdiet gaļu, ugunī ceptu, un neraudzētu maizi – ar rūgtām zālēm to ēdiet! 9 Neēdiet to tāpat vai vārītu, bet gan ugunī ceptu – galvu, lielus un iekšas! 10 Neatstājiet rītam neko, un, kas no tā rītā atlicis, to sadedziniet ugunī! 11 Šādi to ēdiet – jūsu gurni lai ir apjozti, sandales kājās un nūjas rokās! Ēdiet to steigā! Tā ir Kunga Pasha ! 12 Šonakt es iziešu cauri Ēģiptes zemei un sitīšu Ēģiptes zemē ikvienu pirmdzimto – gan cilvēkam, gan lopam! Un es spriedīšu tiesu visiem Ēģiptes dieviem! Es esmu Kungs! 13 Asinis jums būs par zīmi – tās būs tajās mājās, kur būsiet jūs, – es redzēšu asinis, es paiešu jums garām, un sodība jūs neiznīdēs, kad es sitīšu Ēģiptes zemi. 14 Šī diena jums ir pieminama, sviniet tajā svētkus Kungam visās jūsu paaudzēs, kā mūžīgu likumu sviniet to! 15 Septiņas dienas jums jāēd neraudzēta maize. Pirmajā dienā izmetiet no saviem namiem ieraugu, jo katrs, kas ēdīs ko raudzētu no pirmās līdz septītajai dienai, tiks padzīts no Israēla! 16 Lai jums ir svēta sapulce pirmajā dienā un svēta sapulce septītajā dienā. Tad lai netiek darīti nekādi darbi – vien ēdienu jūs drīkstat gatavot. 17 Turiet Neraudzētās maizes svētkus, jo šajā dienā es esmu izvedis jūsu pulkus no Ēģiptes zemes. Sviniet šo dienu visās savās paaudzēs kā mūžīgu likumu! 18 Ēdiet neraudzētu maizi no pirmā mēneša četrpadsmitās dienas līdz divdesmit pirmās dienas vakaram! 19 Septiņas dienas jūsu namos lai nav ierauga, jo katrs, kas ēdīs ko raudzētu, tiks nošķirts no Israēla sapulces – gan svešinieks, gan pašu zemē dzimušais! 20 Neēdiet neko raudzētu, lai kur jūs mājotu, ēdiet neraudzētu maizi!”
21 Un Mozus sasauca visus Israēla vecajos un teica tiem: “Ejiet, ņemiet avis jūsu dzimtām un kaujiet Pashas upuri! 22 Mērciet asiņu bļodā īzapa zāles saišķi un apslakiet durvju aplodu un abas stenderes ar asinīm, kas bļodā. Neizejiet pa sava nama durvīm līdz rītam! 23 Kungs ies sodīt ēģiptiešus – viņš redzēs asinis uz aplodas un abām stenderēm, un Kungs paies garām šīm durvīm un neļaus postītājam ieiet jūsu namos, lai sodītu. 24 Tas ir likums jums un jūsu dēliem uz mūžiem! 25 Kad jūs nonāksiet zemē, kuru Kungs jums dos, kā viņš ir teicis, tad turpiniet šādi kalpot! 26 Kad jūsu dēli jums vaicās, kas jums šī par kalpošanu, 27 tad sakiet: šis ir Pashas upuris Kungam, kurš pagāja garām Israēla dēlu namiem Ēģiptē, kad viņš sodīja ēģiptiešus, bet mūsu nami tika glābti!” Un tauta zemojās un klanījās. 28 Israēla dēli gāja un darīja; kā Kungs Mozum un Āronam bija pavēlējis, tā viņi darīja!
Desmitā mocība: pirmdzimto nāve
(2Moz 11:1–10)29 Pusnaktī notika tā: Kungs sita visus pirmdzimtos Ēģiptes zemē – no faraona, kas sēd savā tronī, pirmdzimtā līdz gūstekņa, kas cietumā, pirmdzimtajam un visu lopu pirmdzimtos. 30 Un faraons cēlās naktī – viņš, viņa kalpi un visi ēģiptieši, un Ēģiptē bija liela brēkšana, jo nebija nama, kurā kāds nebūtu miris. 31 Tajā naktī viņš sauca Mozu un Āronu un teica: “Taisieties, ejiet projām no manas tautas – gan jūs, gan jūsu dēli! Ejiet, kalpojiet Kungam, kā teicāt! 32 Ņemiet gan savas avis, gan savus vēršus, kā teicāt, un ejiet! Un svētījiet arī mani!”
Iziešana
33 Un ēģiptieši skubināja tautu, lai ātrāk dabūtu viņus projām no zemes, jo viņi domāja: “Nu mēs visi esam pagalam!” 34 Un tautai vajadzēja ņemt savu mīklu, pirms tā bija ieraudzēta. Abras viņi ietina savās drānās un aiznesa līdzi uz pleciem. 35 Israēla dēli darīja, kā Mozus bija teicis, un prasīja ēģiptiešiem sudraba traukus, zelta traukus un drānas. 36 --Un Kungs dāvāja tautai ēģiptiešu vēlību – tie viņiem deva, ko tie prasīja. Tā viņi aplaupīja ēģiptiešus!
37 Un Israēla dēli gāja kājām no Raamsēsas uz Sukotu, ap seši simti tūkstoš vīru, neskaitot mazuļus. 38 Ar viņiem kopā devās projām arī daudzi no citām tautām; un arī avis un vērši – varen liels ganāmpulks! 39 No mīklas, ko viņi bija paņēmuši līdzi no Ēģiptes, tie cepa neraudzētu maizi, jo tā nebija ieraudzēta, tādēļ ka tie bija izdzīti no Ēģiptes zemes un nevarēja kavēties. Arī ēdienu viņi nebija sev sagatavojuši. 40 Laiks, ko Israēla dēli nodzīvoja Ēģiptē, bija četri simti trīsdesmit gadu. 41 Kad bija pagājuši četri simti trīsdesmit gadi, tajā pašā dienā visi Kunga pulki izgāja no Ēģiptes zemes! 42 Tā ir nomoda nakts Kungam, kurš izvedis viņus no Ēģiptes zemes. Šī nakts visiem Israēla dēliem ir nomoda nakts Kungam visās paaudzēs!
Norādījumi par Pashu
(1Moz 17:9–142Moz 12:1–13)43 Un Kungs teica Mozum un Āronam: “Tas ir noteikts Pashas svētkiem! Neviens svešinieks lai to neēd! 44 Un ikvienu vergu, kas par sudrabu pirkts, lai apgraiza – tikai tad viņš var to ēst! 45 Piemitējs un algādzis lai to neēd! 46 Lai tas tiek ēsts vienā namā, neko no gaļas lai neiznes no nama un kaulus lai nelauž! 47 Lai tā dara visa Israēla sapulce! 48 Ja kāds svešinieks mīt pie tevis un grib svinēt Kunga Pashu, tad lai tiek apgraizīti visi viņu vīri – pēc tam tie var tuvoties un svinēt, jo tie būs kā pašu zemē dzimušie! Bet neviens neapgraizītais lai to neēd! 49 Viens likums ir iedzimtajam un svešiniekam, kas pie jums apmeties!” 50 Un visi Israēla dēli darīja, kā Kungs pavēlēja Mozum un Āronam, tā viņi darīja!
51 Tai pašā dienā Kungs pulkiem izveda visus Israēla dēlus no Ēģiptes zemes!
