BRAGADAYJAH 195

Then Moses, having received instructions from God, passed them on to the people of God. Look he told them when they were gathered together, take out from among your flocks, a lamb according to your families and kill the Passover. When you do so, gather the blood into a basin, and taking a bunch of hyssop in your hand, strike the lintels and the door posts with the blood; and none of you shall go out of the door of your house until the nest morning. For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the lintels and the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not permit the destroyer to come into your houses to smite you. And this event is to be observed for an ordinance to you and to your children for ever. Moreover, when you come into the land which the Lord will give you, in accordance with His promises, you shall forever keep this service to the Lord. And when your children shall ask you about the meaning of this service, be sure to tell them that it is the sacrifice of the Lord’s Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped. Then the children of Israel went away and did as they were commanded.
