TEXTS
v.21 Moses summoned all the elders of Isreal and said to them ´Go and choose a lamb or kid for
your families, and kill the Passover victim. Then take a bunch of hyssop*, dip it in the blood that
is in the basin, and with the blood from the basin touch the lintel and both door posts; then let
none of you ventue of the house till morning. Then, when Yahweh goes through Egypt to strike it,
and sees the blood on the lintel and on both door posts, he weill pass over the door and not allow
the Destroyer to enter your homes and strike.

v 29. And at midnight Yahweh struck down all the first-born in Egypt from the first-born of the
Pharaoh, heir to his throne, to the first-born of the prisoner in the dungeon, and first-born of all
the livestock. phaaraoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up in the night, and there
was great wailing in Egypt, there was not a house without its dead.

* marjoram, or hyssop. in the basin: or on the threshold. from the basin or from the threshold
