Exodus 12:23-27 World English Bible (WEB)

23. For Yahweh will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintel, and on the two door posts, Yahweh will pass over the door, and will not allow the destroyer to come in to your houses to strike you.

24. You shall observe this thing for an ordinance to you and to your sons forever.

25. It shall happen when you have come to the land which Yahweh will give you, according as he has promised, that you shall keep this service.

26. It will happen, when your children ask you, ‘What do you mean by this service?’

27. that you shall say, ‘It is the sacrifice of Yahweh’s Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he struck the Egyptians, and spared our houses.’” The people bowed their heads and worshiped.
