Then Moses called all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go, pick out a lamb for your families, and slaughter the Passover animal.
In context
19For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses, for whoever eats anything leavened is to be cut off from the community of Israel, whether a foreigner or a native of the land. 20Eat nothing leavened; wherever you live, eat unleavened bread.” 21Then Moses called all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Go, pick out a lamb for your families, and slaughter the Passover animal. 22Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood in the basin, and touch the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood from the basin. None of you is to go out the door of the house until morning. 23For Yahweh will pass through to strike down the Egyptians, and when he sees the blood on the lintel and the two doorposts, Yahweh will pass over that door and will not let the destroyer enter your houses to strike you down.
