Tyndale^{(i) 1} And the Lorde spake vnto Moses and Aaron in the londe of Egipte saynge: ² This moneth shall be youre chefe moneth: eue the first moneth of the yere shal it be vnto you ³ Speake ye unto all the felowshipe of Israel saynge: that they take the .x. daye of this moneth to euery housholde, a shepe. ⁴ Yf the housholde be to few for a shepe, then lett him and his neghbour that is nexte vnto his house, take acordinge to the nombre of soulles, and counte vnto a shepe acordinge to euery mans eatinge. ⁵ A shepe with out spott and a male of one yere olde shall it be, and from amonge the lambes ad the gootes shall ye take it. ⁶ And ye shall kepe him in warde, vntyll the xiiij. daye of the same moneth. And euery ma of the multitude of Israel shall kyll him aboute eue. ⁷ And they shall take of the bloud ad strike it on the .ij. syde postes ad on the vpper dor post of the houses, wheri they eate hi. ⁸ And thei shall eate the flesh the same nyght, rost with fyre, ad with vnleueded bread, ad with sowre herbes they shall eate it. ⁹ Se that ye eate not therof sode in water, but rost with fyre: both head fete ad purtenance together. ¹⁰ And se that ye let nothinge of it remayne vnto the mornynge: yf oughte remayne burne it with fyre. ¹¹ Off this maner shall ye eate it: with youre loines girded, ad shoes on youre fete, ad youre staves in youre handes. And ye shall eate it in haste, for it is the Lordes passeouer, ¹² for I will go aboute i the lade of Egipte this same nyghte, ad will smyte all the firstborne in the lande off Egipte: both of ma ad beest, ad apo al the goddes off Egipte will I the Lorde do execution. ¹³ And the bloude shall be vnto you a toke vppon the houses where in ye are, for whe I se the bloude, I will passe ouer you, ad the plage shall not be vppo you to destroye you, when I smyte the londe off Egipte. ¹⁴ And this daye shall be vnto you a remebraunce, ad ye shall kepe it holie vnto the Lorde: euen thorow out youre generacions after you shall ye kepe it holie daye, that it be a custome for euer. ¹⁵ vij. dayes shal ye eate vnleveded breed, so that euen the first daye ye shall put awaye leuen out off youre housses. For whosoeuer eateth leuended bread from the first daye vntyll the .vij. daye, that soule shall be plucked out fro Israel. ¹⁶ The first daye shall be a holie feast vnto you, and the .vij. also. There shal be no maner off worke done in the, saue aboute that only which euery man must eate that only may ye do. ¹⁷ And see that ye kepe you to vnleueded breed.For vppo that same daye I will brynge youre armyes out off the londe of Egipte, therfore ye shall obserue this daye and all youre childern after you, that yt be a custume for euer. ¹⁸ The first moneth and the .xiiij. daye off the moneth at euen, ye shall eate swete brede vnto the .xxj. daye off the moneth at euen agayne. ¹⁹ Seuen dayes se that there be no leuended bred foude in youre housses. For whosoeuer eateth leuended bred, that soule shall be roted out fro the multitude of Israel: whether he be a straunger or borne in the londe. ²⁰ Therfore se that ye eate no leuended bred, but in all youre habitacions eate swete bred. ²¹ And Moses called for the elders off Israel and sayde vnto them: chouse out and take to euery housholde a shepe, ad kyll passeouer. ²² And take a bunch of ysope, ad dyppe it in the bloud that is in the basyn, and stryke it vppon the vpperposte and on the .ij. syde postes, and se that none of you goo out at the doore of his house vntyll the mornynge. ²³ For the Lorde will goo aboute and smyte Egipte. And when he seyth the bloude vppon the vpper doorposte ad on the .ij. syde postes, he will passe ouer the doore and will not suffre the destroyer to come in to youre housse to plage you. ²⁴ Therfore se that thou obserue this thinge, that it be an ordinaunce to the, and thy sonnes for euer. ²⁵ And when ye be come in to the land which the Lorde will geue you acordinge as he hath promysed, se that ye kepe this seruice. ²⁶ And when youre childern axe you what maner off seruice is this ye doo. ²⁷ Ye shall saye, it is the sacrifiice of the Lordes passeouer which passed ouer the housses of the childern of Israel in Egipte, as he smote the Egiptians and saued oure housses. Than the people bowed them selues and worshipped. ²⁸ And the childern of Israel went and dyd as the Lorde had commauded Moses and Aaron. ²⁹ And at mydnyghte the Lorde smote all the firstborne in the lode of Egipte: from the firstborne of Pharao that satt on his seat, vnto the firstborne of the captyue that was in presone, and all firstborne of the catell. ³⁰ Than Pharao arose the same nyghte and al his servauntes ad all the Egiptians, and there was a great crieng thorowe out Egipte, for there was no housse where there was not one dead. ³¹ And he called vnto Moses and Aaron by nyghte saynge: Ryse vp and gett you out from amonge my people: both ye and also the children of Israel, and goo and serue the Lorde as ye haue sayde. ³² And take youre shepe and your oxen with you as ye haue sayde, ad departe ad blesse me also. ³³ And the Egiptians were ferce vppon the people and made haste to send the out of the lad: for they sayde: we be al deed me ³⁴ And the people toke the dowe before it was sowered which they had in stoare, and bounde it in clothes ad put it vpo their shulders ³⁵ And the childern of Israel dyd acordinge to the saynge of Moses: ad they borowed of the Egiptians: iewels of syluer, and iewels of gold, and rayment. ³⁶ And the Lorde gat the people fauoure in the syghte of the Egiptians: ad so they borowed and robbed the Egiptians. ³⁷ Thus toke the childern of Israel their yourney fro Raemses to suchoth .vj. hundred thousand me of foote, besyde childern. ³⁸ And moch comon people went also with the, ad shepe ad oxen ad catell exceadinge moch. ³⁹ And they baked swete cakes of the dowe which thy broughte out of Egipte, for it was not sowered: because they were thrust out of Egipte and coude not tarie, nether had they prepared them any other prouision of meate. ⁴⁰ And the tyme of the dwellinge of the childern of Israel which they dwelled in Egipte, was .iiij. hundred and .xxx. yere. ⁴¹ And whe the iiij. hundred and .xxx. yeres mere expyred, eue the selfe same daye departed all the hostes of the Lorde out of the lande of Egipte. ⁴² This is a nyghte to be obserued to the Lorde, because he broughte them out of the lande of Egipte. This is a nyghte of the Lorde, to be kepte of all the childern of Israel and of their generacions after them. ⁴³ And the Lorde sayde vnto Moses ad Aaron, this is the maner of Passeover: there shall no straunger eate there of, ⁴⁴ but all the seruauntes that are bought for money shall ye circumcise, and then let them eat there of. ⁴⁵ A strauger and a hyerd seruaunte shall not eate thereof. ⁴⁶ In one housse shall it be eate. Ye shall carie none of the flesh out at the doores: moreouer, se that ye breke not a bone there of. ⁴⁷ All the multitude of the childern of Israel shall obserue it ⁴⁸ Yf a straunger dwell amonge you ad wyll holde Passeover vnto the Lorde, let him circucise all that be males, ad the let him come and obserue it ad be take as one that is borne i the lode. No vncircucised persone shall eate there of. ⁴⁹ One maner of lawe shalbe vnto the that are borne in the lode, ad vnto the straugers that dwell amoge you. ⁵⁰ And all the childern of Israel dyd as the Lorde comauded Moses ad Aaro. ⁵¹ And eue the selfe same daye dyd the Lorde brynge the childern of Israel out of the londe of Egipte with their armies.
