Liturgical Year B
First Reading - Ex 11:10-12:14
10 And Moses and Aaron did all the wonders that are written, before Pharaoh. And the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, neither did he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
1 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt:
2 This month shall be to you the beginning of months: it shall be the first in the months of the year.
3 Speak ye to the whole assembly of the children of Israel, and
say to them: On the tenth day of this month let every man take a lamb
by their families and houses.
4 But if the number be less than may suffice to eat the lamb,
he shall take unto him his neighbour that joineth to his house,
according to the number of souls which may be enough to eat the lamb.
5 And it shall be a lamb without blemish, a male, of one year: according to which rite also you shall take a kid.
6 And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month:
and the whole multitude of the children of Israel shall sacrifice it in
the evening.
7 And they shall take of the blood thereof, and put it upon
both the side posts, and on the upper door posts of the houses, wherein
they shall eat it.
8 And they shall eat the flesh that night roasted at the fire, and unleavened bread with wild lettuce.
9 You shall not eat thereof any thing raw, nor boiled in water,
but only roasted at the fire: you shall eat the head with the feet and
entrails thereof.
10 Neither shall there remain any thing of it until morning. If there be any thing left, you shall burn it with fire.
11 And thus you shall eat it: you shall gird your reins, and you
shall have shoes on your feet, holding staves in your hands, and you
shall eat in haste: for it is the Phase (that is the Passage) of the
Lord.
12 And I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and
will kill every firstborn in the land of Egypt both man and beast: and
against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord.
13 And the blood shall be unto you for a sign in the houses
where you shall be: and I shall see the blood, and shall pass over you:
and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I shall
strike the land of Egypt.
14 And this day shall be for a memorial to you: and you shall
keep it a feast to the Lord in your generations with an everlasting
observance.
