27. You shall say to them: It is the victim of the passage of the Lord, when he passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, striking the Egyptians, and saving our houses. And the people bowing themselves, adored.
28. And the children of Israel going forth did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.
29. And it came to pass at midnight, the Lord slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharao, who sat on his throne, unto the firstborn of the captive woman that was in the prison, and all the firstborn of cattle.
30. And Pharao arose in the night, and all his servants, and all Egypt: for there was not a house wherein there lay not one dead.
