12:1

God said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt: 
Vayomer Adonay el-Moshe ve'el-Aharon be'erets Mitsrayim lemor.

אוַיֹּ֤אמֶר יְהֹוָה֙ אֶל־משֶׁ֣ה וְאֶל־אַֽהֲרֹ֔ן בְּאֶ֥רֶץ מִצְרַ֖יִם לֵאמֹֽר:

12:2

This month shall be the head month to you. It shall be the first month of the year. 
Hachodesh hazeh lachem rosh chodashim rishon hu lachem lechodeshey hashanah.

בהַחֹ֧דֶשׁ הַזֶּ֛ה לָכֶ֖ם רֹ֣אשׁ חֳדָשִׁ֑ים רִאשׁ֥וֹן הוּא֙ לָכֶ֔ם לְחָדְשֵׁ֖י הַשָּׁנָֽה:

12:3

Speak to the entire community of Israel, saying: On the tenth of this month, every man must take a lamb for each extended family, a lamb for each household. 
Daberu el-kol-adat Yisra'el lemor be'asor lachodesh hazeh veyikchu lahem ish seh leveyt-avot seh labayit.

גדַּבְּר֗וּ אֶל־כָּל־עֲדַ֤ת יִשְׂרָאֵל֙ לֵאמֹ֔ר בֶּֽעָשׂ֖ר לַחֹ֣דֶשׁ הַזֶּ֑ה וְיִקְח֣וּ לָהֶ֗ם אִ֛ישׁ שֶׂ֥ה לְבֵֽית־אָבֹ֖ת שֶׂ֥ה לַבָּֽיִת:

12:4

If the household is too small for a lamb, then he and a close neighbor can obtain a [lamb together], as long as it is for specifically designated individuals. Individuals shall be designated for a lamb according to how much each one will eat. 
Ve'im-yim'at habayit miheyot miseh velakach hu ushcheno hakarov el-beyto bemichsat nefashot ish lefi ochlo tachosu al-haseh.

דוְאִם־יִמְעַ֣ט הַבַּ֘יִת֘ מִֽהְי֣וֹת מִשֶּׂה֒ וְלָקַ֣ח ה֗וּא וּשְׁכֵנ֛וֹ הַקָּרֹ֥ב אֶל־בֵּית֖וֹ בְּמִכְסַ֣ת נְפָשֹׁ֑ת אִ֚ישׁ לְפִ֣י אָכְל֔וֹ תָּכֹ֖סּוּ עַל־הַשֶֽׂה:

12:5

You must have a flawless young animal, a one-year-old male. You can take it from the sheep or from the goats. 
Seh tamim zachar ben-shanah yihyeh lachem min-hakvasim umin-ha'izim tikachu.

השֶׂ֧ה תָמִ֛ים זָכָ֥ר בֶּן־שָׁנָ֖ה יִֽהְיֶ֣ה לָכֶ֑ם מִן־הַכְּבָשִׂ֥ים וּמִן־הָֽעִזִּ֖ים תִּקָּֽחוּ:

12:6

Hold it in safekeeping until the fourteenth day of this month.

The entire community of Israel shall then slaughter [their sacrifices] in the afternoon. 
Vehayah lachem lemishmeret ad arba'ah asar yom lachodesh hazeh veshachatu oto kol kehal adat-Yisra'el beyn ha'arba'im.

12:7

They must take the blood and place it on the two doorposts and on the beam above the door of the houses in which they will eat [the sacrifice]. 
Velakechu min-hadam venatenu al-shtey hamezuzot ve'al-hamashkof al habatim asher-yochlu oto bahem.

12:8

Eat the [sacrificial] meat during the night, roasted over fire. Eat it with matzah and bitter herbs. 
Ve'achlu et-habasar balaylah hazeh tsli-esh umatsot al-merorim yocheluhu.

12:9

Do not eat it raw or cooked in water, but only roasted over fire,including its head, its legs, and its internal organs. 
Al-tochlu mimenu na uvashel mevushal bamayim ki im-tsli-esh rosho al-kra'av ve'al-kirbo.

12:10

Do not leave any of it over until morning. Anything that is left over until morning must be burned in fire. 
Velo-totiru mimenu ad-boker vehanotar mimenu ad-boker ba'esh tisrofu.

יוְלֹֽא־תוֹתִ֥ירוּ מִמֶּ֖נּוּ עַד־בֹּ֑קֶר וְהַנֹּתָ֥ר מִמֶּ֛נּוּ עַד־בֹּ֖קֶר בָּאֵ֥שׁ תִּשְׂרֹֽפוּ:

12:11

You must eat it with your waist belted, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand, and you must eat it in haste. It is the Passover (Pesach) offering to God. 
Vechachah tochlu oto motneychem chagurim na'aleychem beragleychem umakelchem beyedchem va'achaltem oto bechipazon pesach hu l'Adonay.

12:12

I will pass through Egypt on that night, and I will kill every first-born in Egypt, man and beast. I will perform acts of judgment against all the gods of Egypt. I [alone] am God. 
Ve'avarti ve'erets-Mitsrayim balaylah hazeh vehikeyti chol-bechor be'erets Mitsrayim me'adam ve'ad-behemah uvechol-elohey Mitsrayim e'eseh shfatim ani Adonay.

12:13

The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are staying. I will see the blood and pass you by (pasach). There will not be any deadly plague among you when I strike Egypt. 
Vehayah hadam lachem le'ot al habatim asher atem sham vera'iti et-hadam ufasachti alechem velo-yihyeh vachem negef lemashchit behakoti be'erets Mitsrayim.

12:14

This day must be one that you will remember. You must keep it as a festival to God for all generations. It is a law for all time that you must celebrate it. 
Vehayah hayom hazeh lachem lezikaron vechagotem oto chag l'Adonay ledoroteychem chukat olam techaguhu.

12:15

Eat matzahs for seven days. By the first day, you must have your homes cleared of all leaven. Whoever eats leaven from the first day until the seventh day will have his soul cut off from Israel. 
Shiv'at yamim matsot tochelu ach bayom harishon tashbitu se'or mibateychem ki kol-ochel chamets venichretah hanefesh hahi miYisra'el miyom harishon ad-yom hashvi'i.

12:16

The first day shall be a sacred holiday, and the seventh day shall [also] be a sacred holiday. No work may be done on these [days]. The only [work] that you may do is that which is needed so that everyone will be able to eat. 
Uvayom harishon mikra-kodesh uvayom hashvi'i mikra-kodesh yihyeh lachem kol-melachah lo-ye'aseh vahem ach asher ye'achel lechol-nefesh hu levado ye'aseh lachem.

12:17

Be careful regarding the matzahs, for on this very day I will have brought your masses out of Egypt. You must carefully keep this day for all generations; it is a law for all times. 
Ushmartem et-hamatsot ki be'etsem hayom hazeh hotseti et-tsiv'oteychem me'erets Mitsrayim ushmartem et-hayom hazeh ledoroteychem chukat olam.

12:18

From the 14th day of the first month in the evening, until the night of the 21st day of the month, you must eat [only] matzahs. 
Barishon be'arba'ah asar yom lachodesh ba'erev tochelu matsot ad yom ha'echad ve'esrim lachodesh ba'arev.

12:19

During [these] seven days, no leaven may be found in your homes. If someone eats anything leavened his soul shall be cut off from the community of Israel. [This is true] whether he is a proselyte or a person born into the nation. 
Shiv'at yamim se'or lo yimatse bevateychem ki kol-ochel machmetset venichretah nahefesh hahi me'adat Yisra'el bager uve'ezrach ha'arets.

12:20

You must not eat anything leavened. In all the areas where you live, eat matzahs. 
Kol-machmetset lo tochelu bechol moshvoteychem tochelu matsot.

Fifth Reading
Moses summoned the elders of Israel, and said to them, 'Gather [the people] and get yourselves sheep for your families, so that you will be able to slaughter the Passover sacrifice. 
Vayikra Moshe lechol-zikney Yisra'el vayomer alehem mishchu ukchu lachem tson lemishpechoteychem veshachatu haPasach.

12:22

'You will then have to take a bunch of hyssop and dip it into the blood that [will be placed] in a basin. Touch the beam over the door and the two doorposts with some of the blood in the basin. Not a single one of you may go out the door of his house until morning.

12:23

'God will then pass through to strike Egypt. When he sees the blood over the door and on the two doorposts, God will pass over that door, and not let the force of destruction enter your houses to strike. 
Ve'avar Adonay lingof et-Mitsrayim vera'ah et-hadam al-hamashkof ve'al shtey hamezuzot ufasach Adonay al-hapetach velo yiten hamashchit lavo el-bateychem lingof.

'You must keep this ritual as a law, for you and your children forever. 
Ushmartem et-hadavar hazeh lechok-lecha ulevaneycha ad-olam.

כדוּשְׁמַרְתֶּ֖ם אֶת־הַדָּבָ֣ר הַזֶּ֑ה לְחָק־לְךָ֥ וּלְבָנֶ֖יךָ עַד־עוֹלָֽם:

12:25

When you come to the land that God will give you, as He promised, you must [also] keep this service. 
Vehayah ki-tavo'u el-ha'arets asher yiten Adonay lachem ka'asher diber ushmartem et-ha'avodah hazot.

12:26

Your children may [then] ask you, 'What is this service to you?' 
Vehayah ki-yomru aleychem beneychem mah ha'avodah hazot lachem.

כווְהָיָ֕ה כִּי־יֹֽאמְר֥וּ אֲלֵיכֶ֖ם בְּנֵיכֶ֑ם מָ֛ה הָֽעֲבֹדָ֥ה הַזֹּ֖את לָכֶֽם:

12:27

You must answer, 'It is the Passover service to God. He passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians, sparing our homes.'

The people bent their heads and prostrated themselves. 
Va'amartem zevach-pesach hu l'Adonay asher pasach al-batey veney-Yisra'el beMitsrayim benogpo et-Mitsrayim ve'et-bateynu hitsil vayikod ha'am vayishtachavu.

12:28

The Israelites went and did as God had instructed Moses and Aaron. They did it exactly. 
Vayelchu vaya'asu beney Yisra'el ka'asher tsivah Adonay et-Moshe ve'Aharon ken asu.

12:29

Sixth Reading
It was midnight. God killed every first-born in Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh, sitting on his throne, to the first-born of the prisoner in the dungeon, as well as every first-born animal. 
Vayehi bachatsi halaylah va'Adonay hikah chol-bechor be'erets Mitsrayim mibechor Par'oh hayoshev al-kis'o ad bechor hashvi asher beveyt habor vechol bechor behemah.

12:30

Pharaoh stayed up that night, along with all his officials and all the rest of Egypt. There was a great outcry, since there was no house where there were no dead. 
Vayakom Par'oh laylah hu vechol-avadav vechol-Mitsrayim vatehi tse'akah gedolah beMitsrayim ki-eyn bayit asher eyn-sham met.

12:31

[Pharaoh] sent for Moses and Aaron during the night. 'Get moving!' he said. 'Get out from among my people - you and the Israelites! Go! Worship God just as you demanded! 
Vayikra le-Moshe ule-Aharon laylah vayomer kumu tse'u mitoch ami gam-atem gam-beney Yisra'el ulechu ivdu et-Adonay kedaberchem.

12:33

The Egyptians were also urging the people to hurry and leave the land. 'We are all dead men!' they were saying. 
Vatechezak Mitsrayim al-ha'am lemaher leshalcham min-ha'arets ki amru kulanu metim.

12:34

The people took their dough before it could rise. Their leftover dough was wrapped in their robes [and placed] on their shoulders. 
Vayisa ha'am et-betseko terem yechmats mish'arotam tsrurot besimlotam al-shichmam.

12:35

The Israelites [also] did as Moses had said. They requested silver and gold articles and clothing from the Egyptians. 
Uveney Yisra'el asu kidevar Moshe vayish'alu miMitsrayim kley-chesef uchley zahav usmalot.

12:36

God made the Egyptians respect the people, and they granted their request. [The Israelites] thus drained Egypt of its wealth. 
V'Adonay natan et-chen ha'am be'eyney Mitsrayim vayash'ilum vayenatslu et-Mitsrayim.

12:37

The Israelites traveled from Rameses toward Sukkoth. There were about 600,000 adult males on foot, besides the children. 
Vayis'u veney Yisra'el meRamses Sukotah keshesh-me'ot elef ragli hagevarim levad mitach.

12:38

A great mixture [of nationalities] left with them. There were [also] sheep and cattle, a huge amount of livestock. 
Vegam-erev rav alah itam vetson uvakar mikneh kaved me'od.

12:39

[The Israelites] baked the dough that they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened (matzah) cakes, since it had not risen. They had been driven out of Egypt and could not delay, and they had not prepared any other provisions. 
Vayofu et-habatsek asher hotsi'u miMitsrayim ugot matsot ki lo chamets ki-gorshu miMitsrayim velo yachlu lehitmahameha vegam-tsedah lo-asu lahem.

12:40

The lifestyle that the Israelites endured in Egypt had thus lasted 430 years.

12:41

At the end of the 430 years, all of God's armies left Egypt in broad daylight. 
Vayehi mikets shloshim shanah ve'arba me'ot shanah vayehi be'etsem hayom hazeh yatse'u kol-tsiv'ot Adonay me'erets Mitsrayim.

12:42
