Exodus 12:2-20

Matthew^{(i) 2} This moneth shal be your chiefe moneth: euen of the fyrst moneth of the yeare shal it be vnto you. ³ Speake ye vnto all the felowshyp of Israell saying: That they take the .x. day of thys moneth to euery houshold a shepe. ⁴ If the houshold be to few for a shepe, then let hym & his neighboure that is next vnto his house, take accordynge to the numbre of the soules, & counte vnto a shepe accordynge to euery mans eatynge. ⁵ A shepe without spot & a male of one yere olde shal it be, and from amonge the lambes and the gootes shal ye take it. ⁶ And ye shall kepe hym in, vntyll the .xiiij. daye of the same moneth. And euery man of the multitude of Israel shal kyl hym aboute euen. ⁷ And they shall take of the bloud & strike it on the two side postes & on the vpperdore post of the houses, wherin they eate hym. ⁸ And they shal eate the flesh the same nyghte, rost with fyre and with vnleuended bread, & wt sowre herbes they shall eate it. ⁹ Se that ye eate not therof rawe ner soden in water, but rost with fyre: both the head, fete, & purtenance together. ¹⁰ And se that ye let nothyng of it remayne vnto the mornyng: yf ought remayne burne it wyth fyre. ¹¹ Of thys maner shal ye eate it: with youre loynes gyrded, and shoes on youre fete, and your staues in your handes. And ye shal eate it in haste, for it is the Lordes passeouer, ¹² for I wyl go aboute in the lande of Egypte thys same nyght, and wyl smyte al the fyrste borne in the lande of Egypte, both of man & beast, and vpon all the Goddes of Egypte wyl I the Lorde do execution. ¹³ And the bloud shall be vnto you a token vpon the houses wherin ye are, for when I se the bloude, I wyl passe ouer you, and the plage shal not be vpon you to destroye you, when I smyte the land of Egypte. ¹⁴ And thys daye shal be vnto you a remembraunce, & ye shall kepe it holy vnto the Lord: euen thorow out your generacions after you shal ye kepe it holy daye, that it be a custome for euer. ¹⁵ Seuen dayes shall ye eate vnleuended bread, so that euen the fyrst daye ye shall put awaye leuen out of youre housses. For whosoeuer eateth leuended bread from the fyrst day vntyl the .vij. day, that soule shal be plucked out from Israel. ¹⁶ The fyrste daye shalbe a holy feaste vnto you, & the .vij. also. There shall be no maner of worcke done in them, saue about that only which euery man must eate that only may ye do. ¹⁷ And se that ye kepe you to vnleuended bread. For vpon that same day I wyl brynge your armyes out of the lande of Egypte, therfore ye shal obserue thys day and al your children after you, that it be a custome for euer. ¹⁸ The fyrst moneth & the .xiiij. daye of the moneth at euen, ye shall eate swete breed vnto the .xxi. daye of the moneth at euen agayne. ¹⁹ Seuen dayes se that there be no leuended bread founde in your houses. For whosoeuer eateth leuended bread, that soule shalbe roted out from the multitude of Israel: whether he be a straunger or borne in the lande. ²⁰ Therfore se that ye eate not leuended bread, but in all youre habitacions eate swete bread.
