BSB BSB: Take a cluster of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin, and brush the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe. None of you shall go out the door of his house until morning.
23 WYC For the Lord schal passe smytynge Egipcians; and whanne he schal se the blood in the lyntel, and in euer either post, he schal passe the dore of the hows; and he schal not suffre the smytere to entre in to youre housis, and to hirte. BSB BSB: When the LORD passes through to strike down the Egyptians, He will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway; so He will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.
24 WYC Kepe thou this word; it schal be a lawful thing to thee and to thi sones til in to with outen ende. BSB BSB: And you are to keep this command as a permanent statute for you and your descendants.

26 WYC and whanne youre sones schulen seie to you, What is this religioun? ye schulen seie to hem, BSB BSB: When your children ask you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’
27 WYC It is the sacrifice of the passyng of the Lord, whanne he passide ouer the housis of the sones of Israel in Egipt, and smoot Egipcians, and delyueride oure housis. And the puple was bowid, and worschipide. BSB BSB: you are to reply, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when He struck down the Egyptians and spared our homes.’” Then the people bowed down and worshiped.
28 WYC And the sones of Israel yeden out, and diden as the Lord comaundide to Moises and to Aaron. BSB BSB: And the Israelites went and did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.
29 WYC Forsothe it was doon in the myddis of the nyyt, the Lord smoot al the firste gendrid thing in the lond of Egipt, fro the firste gendrid of Farao, that sat in the trone of hym, til to the first gendrid of the caitif womman, that was in the prisoun, and alle the first gendrid of beestis. BSB BSB: Now at midnight the LORD struck down every firstborn male in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner in the dungeon, as well as all the firstborn among the livestock.
30 WYC And Farao roos in the nyyt, and alle hise seruauntis, and al Egipt; and a greet cry was maad in Egipt, for noon hows was, in which a deed man lay not.

31 WYC And whanne Moises and Aaron weren clepid in the nyyt, Farao seide, Rise ye, go ye out fro my puple, bothe ye and the sones of Israel; go ye, offre ye to the Lord, as ye seien; BSB BSB: Then Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Get up, leave my people, both you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested.
32 WYC take ye youre scheep and greete beestis, as ye axiden; and go ye, and blesse ye me. BSB BSB: Take your flocks and herds as well, just as you have said, and depart! And bless me also.”
33 WYC And Egipcians constreyneden the puple to go out of the lond swiftli, and seiden, All we schulen die! BSB BSB: And in order to send them out of the land quickly, the Egyptians urged the people on. “For otherwise,” they said, “we are all going to die!”
34 WYC Therfor the puple took meele spreynd togidere, bifor that it was diyt with sour douy; and boond in mentils, and puttide on her schuldris. BSB BSB: So the people took their dough before it was leavened, carrying it on their shoulders in kneading bowls wrapped in clothing.
35 WYC And the sones of Israel diden as the Lord comaundide to Moises; and thei axiden of Egipcians siluerne vesselis and goldun, and ful myche clooth. BSB BSB: Furthermore, the Israelites acted on Moses’ word and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing.
36 WYC Forsothe the Lord yaf grace to the puple bifor Egipcians, that the Egipcians lenten to hem; and thei maden bare Egipcians. BSB BSB: And the LORD gave the people such favor in the sight of the Egyptians that they granted their request. In this way they plundered the Egyptians.

39 WYC And thei bakiden meele, which spreynd to gidere `a while ago thei token fro Egipt, and maden therf looues bakun vnder the aischis; for the looues miyten not be diyt with sour dow, for Egipcians compelliden to go out, and suffriden not to make ony tariyng, nether it was leiser to make ony seew. BSB BSB: Since their dough had no leaven, the people baked what they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened loaves. For when they had been driven out of Egypt, they could not delay and had not prepared any provisions for themselves.
40 WYC Forsothe the dwellyng of the sones of Israel, bi which thei dwelliden in Egipt, was of foure hundrid and thretti yeer; BSB BSB: Now the duration of the Israelites’ stay in Egypt was 430 years.
41 WYC and whanne tho weren fillid, al the oost of the Lord yede out of the lond of Egipt in the same dai. BSB BSB: At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.
42 WYC This nyyt is worthi to be kept in the worschipyng of the Lord, whanne he ladde hem out of the lond of Egipt; alle the sones of Israel owen to kepe this in her generaciouns. BSB BSB: Because the LORD kept a vigil that night to bring them out of the land of Egypt, this same night is to be a vigil to the LORD, to be observed by all the Israelites for the generations to come.
43 WYC Also the Lord seide to Moises and Aaron, This is the religioun of fase; ech alien schal not ete therof; BSB BSB: And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it.
44 WYC sotheli ech seruaunt bouyt schal be circumcidid, and so he schal ete; BSB BSB: But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him.
45 WYC a comelyng and hirid man schulen not ete therof; BSB BSB: A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover.
46 WYC it schal be etun in oon hows; nether ye schulen bere out of the fleischis therof; nether ye schulen breke a boon therof. BSB BSB: It must be eaten inside one house. You are not to take any of the meat outside the house, and you may not break any of the bones.
47 WYC Ech company of the sones of Israel schal make that fase; BSB BSB: The whole congregation of Israel must celebrate it.
48 WYC that if ony pilgrym wole passe into youre feith and worschipyng, and make fase of the Lord, ech male kynde of hym schal be circumcidid bifore, and thanne he schal make lawfuli, and he schal be to gidere as a man borun of the lond; forsothe if ony man is not circumcidid, he schal not ete therof. BSB BSB: If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate the LORD’s Passover, all the males in the household must be circumcised; then he may come near to celebrate it, and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised man may eat of it.
49 WYC The same lawe schal be to a man borun of the lond, and to a comelyng, that takith youre feith, which is a pilgrym anentis you. BSB BSB: The same law shall apply to both the native and the foreigner who resides among you.”
50 WYC And alle the sones of Israel diden as the Lord comaundide to Moises and Aaron. BSB BSB: Then all the Israelites did this—they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.
51 WYC And in the same dai the Lord ladde out of `the lond of Egipt the sones of Israel, bi her cumpanies. BSB BSB: And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their divisions.
