Shemot 10:1 - 13:16
Shemot 10:1 And יהוה said to Moshe, “Go in to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants, so that I show these signs of Mine before him,
Shemot 10:2 and that you relate in the hearing of your son and your son’s son what I have done in Mitsrayim, and My signs which I have done among them. And you shall know that I am יהוה.”
Shemot 10:3 And Moshe and Aharon came in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus said יהוה Elohim of the Heḇrews, ‘Till when shall you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, so that they serve Me.
Shemot 10:4 ‘Or else, if you refuse to let My people go, see, tomorrow I am bringing locusts within your borders.
Shemot 10:5 ‘And they shall cover the surface of the land, so that no one is able to see the land. And they shall eat the rest of what has escaped, which remains to you from the hail, and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field.
Shemot 10:6 ‘And they shall fill your houses, and the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Mitsrites, which neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day.’ ” Then he turned and went out from Pharaoh.
Shemot 10:7 And Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “Till when would this one be a snare to us? Let the men go, so that they serve יהוה their Elohim. Do you not yet know that Mitsrayim is destroyed?”
Shemot 10:8 And Moshe and Aharon were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, “Go, serve יהוה your Elohim. Who are the ones that are going?”
Shemot 10:9 And Moshe said, “We are going with our young and our old, with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds we are going, for we have a festival to יהוה.”
Shemot 10:10 And he said to them, “Let יהוה be with you as I let you and your little ones go! Watch, for evil is before your face!
Shemot 10:11 “Not so! You men go now, and serve יהוה, for that is what you desired.” And they were driven out from the presence of Pharaoh.
Shemot 10:12 And יהוה said to Moshe, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Mitsrayim for the locusts to come upon the land of Mitsrayim, and eat every plant of the land – all that the hail has left.”
Shemot 10:13 And Moshe stretched out his rod over the land of Mitsrayim, and יהוה brought an east wind on the land all that day and all that night. Morning came, and the east wind brought the locusts.
Shemot 10:14 And the locusts went up over all the land of Mitsrayim and settled within all the borders of Mitsrayim, very grievous. There had never been locusts like them before, nor would there again be like them.
Shemot 10:15 And they covered the surface of all the land, so that the land was darkened. And they ate every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left, and no greenness was left on the trees or on the plants of the field, in all the land of Mitsrayim.
Shemot 10:16 Pharaoh then called for Moshe and Aharon in haste, and said, “I have sinned against יהוה your Elohim and against you.
Shemot 10:17 “And now, please forgive my sin only this once, and pray to יהוה your Elohim, that He would only turn away this death from me.”
Shemot 10:18 And he went out from Pharaoh and prayed to יהוה.
Shemot 10:19 And יהוה turned a very strong west wind, which took the locusts away and blew them into the Sea of Reeds. Not one locust was left within all the border of Mitsrayim.
Shemot 10:20 However, יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not let the children of Yisra’ĕl go.
Shemot 10:21 And יהוה said to Moshe, “Stretch out your hand toward the heavens, and let there be darkness over the land of Mitsrayim, even a darkness which is felt.”
Shemot 10:22 And Moshe stretched out his hand toward the heavens, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Mitsrayim for three days.
Shemot 10:23 They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, while all the children of Yisra’ĕl had light in their dwellings.
Shemot 10:24 And Pharaoh called to Moshe and said, “Go, serve יהוה, only leave your flocks and your herds behind. Let your little ones go with you too.”
Shemot 10:25 But Moshe said, “You yourself are to provide us with slaughterings and burnt offerings, to prepare for יהוה our Elohim.
Shemot 10:26 “And our livestock are to go with us too, not a hoof is to be left behind, for we have to take some of them to serve יהוה our Elohim, and we ourselves do not know with what we are to serve יהוה until we come there.”
Shemot 10:27 However, יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he would not let them go.
Shemot 10:28 And Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Watch yourself and see my face no more, for in the day you see my face you die!”
Shemot 10:29 And Moshe said, “You have spoken rightly – never again do I see your face!”
Shemot 11:1 And יהוה said to Moshe, “I am bringing yet one more plague on Pharaoh and on Mitsrayim. After that he is going to let you go from here. When he lets you go, he shall drive you out from here altogether.
Shemot 11:2 “Speak now in the hearing of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor, objects of silver and objects of gold.”
Shemot 11:3 And יהוה gave the people favor in the eyes of the Mitsrites. And the man Moshe was very great in the land of Mitsrayim, in the eyes of Pharaoh’s servants and in the eyes of the people.
Shemot 11:4 And Moshe said, “Thus said יהוה, ‘About midnight I am going out into the midst of Mitsrayim,
Shemot 11:5 and all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the first-born of the female slave who is behind the handmill, and all the first-born of cattle.
Shemot 11:6 ‘And there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Mitsrayim, such as has never been or ever be again.
Shemot 11:7 ‘But against any of the children of Yisra’ĕl no dog shall move its tongue, against man or against beast, so that you know that יהוה makes distinction between Mitsrayim and Yisra’ĕl.’
Shemot 11:8 “And all these servants of yours shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, ‘Get out, you and all the people at your feet!’ And after that I shall go out.” And he went out from Pharaoh in great displeasure.
Shemot 11:9 But יהוה said to Moshe, “Pharaoh is not going to listen to you, in order to multiply My wonders in the land of Mitsrayim.”
Shemot 11:10 And Moshe and Aharon did all these wonders before Pharaoh, however, יהוה hardened the heart of Pharaoh, and he did not let the children of Yisra’ĕl go out of his land.
Shemot 12:1 And יהוה spoke to Moshe and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim, saying,
Shemot 12:2 “This month is the beginning of months for you, it is the first month of the year for you.
Shemot 12:3 “Speak to all the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, saying, ‘On the tenth day of this month each one of them is to take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.
Shemot 12:4 ‘And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the beings, according to each man’s need you make your count for the lamb.
Shemot 12:5 ‘Let the lamb be a perfect one, a year old male. Take it from the sheep or from the goats.
Shemot 12:6 ‘And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then all the assembly of the congregation of Yisra’ĕl shall kill it between the evenings.
Shemot 12:7 ‘And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.
Shemot 12:8 ‘And they shall eat the flesh on that night, roasted in fire – with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.
Shemot 12:9 ‘Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire, its head with its legs and its inward parts.
Shemot 12:10 ‘And do not leave of it until morning, and what remains of it until morning you are to burn with fire.
Shemot 12:11 ‘And this is how you eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is the Passover of יהוה.
Shemot 12:12 ‘And I shall pass through the land of Mitsrayim on that night, and shall smite all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both man and beast. And on all the mighty ones of Mitsrayim I shall execute judgment. I am יהוה.
Shemot 12:13 ‘And the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I shall pass over you, and let the plague not come on you to destroy you when I smite the land of Mitsrayim.
Shemot 12:14 ‘And this day shall become to you a remembrance. And you shall observe it as a festival to יהוה throughout your generations – observe it as a festival, an everlasting law.
Shemot 12:15 ‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. Indeed on the first day you cause leaven to cease from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that being shall be cut off from Yisra’ĕl.
Shemot 12:16 ‘And on the first day is a set-apart gathering, and on the seventh day you have a set-apart gathering. No work at all is done on them, only that which is eaten by every being, that alone is prepared by you.
Shemot 12:17 ‘And you shall guard the Festival of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I brought your divisions out of the land of Mitsrayim. And you shall guard this day throughout your generations, an everlasting law.
Shemot 12:18 ‘In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month in the evening.
Shemot 12:19 ‘For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, that same being shall be cut off from the congregation of Yisra’ĕl, whether sojourner or native of the land.
Shemot 12:20 ‘Do not eat that which is leavened – in all your dwellings you are to eat unleavened bread.’ ”
Shemot 12:21 And Moshe called for all the elders of Yisra’ĕl and said to them, “Go out and take lambs for yourselves according to your clans, and slaughter the Pesach lamb.
Shemot 12:22 “And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin, and you, none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning.
Shemot 12:23 “And יהוה shall pass on to smite the Mitsrites, and shall see the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, and יהוה shall pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you.
Shemot 12:24 “And you shall guard this word as a law for you and your sons, forever.
Shemot 12:25 “And it shall be, when you come to the land which יהוה gives you, as He promised, that you shall guard this service.
Shemot 12:26 “And it shall be, when your children say to you, ‘What does this service mean to you?’
Shemot 12:27 then you shall say, ‘It is the Pesach slaughtering of יהוה, who passed over the houses of the children of Yisra’ĕl in Mitsrayim when He smote the Mitsrites and delivered our households.’ ” And the people bowed their heads and did obeisance.
Shemot 12:28 And the children of Yisra’ĕl went away and did so – as יהוה had commanded Moshe and Aharon, so they did.
Shemot 12:29 And it came to be at midnight that יהוה smote all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the first-born of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the first-born of livestock.
Shemot 12:30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he and all his servants, and all the Mitsrites. And there was a great cry in Mitsrayim, for there was not a house where there was not a dead one.
Shemot 12:31 Then he called for Moshe and Aharon by night, and said, “Arise, go out from the midst of my people, both you and the children of Yisra’ĕl. And go, serve יהוה as you have said.
Shemot 12:32 “Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go. Then you shall bless me too.”
Shemot 12:33 And the Mitsrites urged the people, to hasten to send them away out of the land. For they said, “We are all dying!”
Shemot 12:34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, having their kneading bowls bound up in their garments on their shoulders.
Shemot 12:35 And the children of Yisra’ĕl had done according to the word of Moshe, and they had asked from the Mitsrites objects of silver, and objects of gold, and garments.
Shemot 12:36 And יהוה gave the people favor in the eyes of the Mitsrites, so that they gave them what they asked, and they plundered the Mitsrites.
Shemot 12:37 And the children of Yisra’ĕl set out from Raʽmeses to Sukkoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides the little ones.
Shemot 12:38 And a mixed multitude went up with them too, also flocks and herds, very much livestock.
Shemot 12:39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Mitsrayim, for it was not leavened, since they were driven out of Mitsrayim, and had not been able to delay, nor had they prepared food for themselves.
Shemot 12:40 And the sojourn of the children of Yisra’ĕl who lived in Mitsrayim was four hundred and thirty years.
Shemot 12:41 And it came to be at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on that same day it came to be that all the divisions of יהוה went out from the land of Mitsrayim.
Shemot 12:42 It is a night to be observed unto יהוה for bringing them out of the land of Mitsrayim. This night is unto יהוה, to be observed by all the children of Yisra’ĕl throughout their generations.
Shemot 12:43 And יהוה said to Moshe and Aharon, “This is the law of the Pesach: No son of a stranger is to eat of it,
Shemot 12:44 but any slave a man has bought for silver, when you have circumcised him, then let him eat of it.
Shemot 12:45 “A sojourner and a hired servant does not eat of it.
Shemot 12:46 “It is eaten in one house, you are not to take any of the flesh outside the house, nor are you to break any bone of it.
Shemot 12:47 “All the congregation of Yisra’ĕl are to perform it.
Shemot 12:48 “And when a stranger sojourns with you and shall perform the Pesach to יהוה, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and perform it, and he shall be as a native of the land. But let no uncircumcised eat of it.
Shemot 12:49 “There is one Torah for the native-born and for the stranger who sojourns among you.”
Shemot 12:50 And all the children of Yisra’ĕl did as יהוה commanded Moshe and Aharon, so they did.
Shemot 12:51 And it came to be on that same day that יהוה brought the children of Yisra’ĕl out of the land of Mitsrayim according to their divisions.
Shemot 13:1 And יהוה spoke to Moshe, saying,
Shemot 13:2 “Set apart to Me all the first-born, the one opening the womb among the children of Yisra’ĕl, among man and among beast, it is Mine.”
Shemot 13:3 And Moshe said to the people, “Remember this day in which you went out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery. For by strength of hand יהוה brought you out of this place, and whatever is leavened shall not be eaten.
Shemot 13:4 “Today you are going out, in the month Aḇiḇ.
Shemot 13:5 “And it shall be, when יהוה brings you into the land of the Kenaʽanites, and the Ḥittites, and the Amorites, and the Ḥiwwites, and the Yeḇusites, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.
Shemot 13:6 “Seven days you eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a festival to יהוה.
Shemot 13:7 “Unleavened bread is to be eaten the seven days, and whatever is leavened is not to be seen with you, and leaven is not to be seen with you within all your border.
Shemot 13:8 “And you shall inform your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of what יהוה did for me when I came up from Mitsrayim.’
Shemot 13:9 “And it shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a reminder between your eyes, that the Torah of יהוה is to be in your mouth, for with a strong hand יהוה has brought you out of Mitsrayim.
Shemot 13:10 “And you shall guard this law at its appointed time from year to year.
Shemot 13:11 “And it shall be, when יהוה brings you into the land of the Kenaʽanites, as He swore to you and your fathers, and gives it to you,
Shemot 13:12 that you shall pass over to יהוה every one opening the womb, and every first-born that comes from your livestock, the males belong to יהוה.
Shemot 13:13 “But every first-born of a donkey you are to ransom with a lamb. And if you do not ransom it, then you shall break its neck. And every first-born of man among your sons you are to ransom.
Shemot 13:14 “And it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ then you shall say to him, ‘By strength of hand יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage.
Shemot 13:15 ‘And it came to be, when Pharaoh was too hardened to let us go, that יהוה killed every first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both the first-born of man and the first-born of beast. Therefore I am slaughtering to יהוה every male that open the womb, but every first-born of my sons I ransom.’
Shemot 13:16 “And it shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand יהוה brought us out of Mitsrayim.”
