Institution of the Passover (EXO 12:43-51)

[12:43] And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: no foreigner shall eat of it,

[12:44] but every slave that is bought for money may eat of it after you have circumcised him.

[12:45] No foreigner or hired worker may eat of it.

[12:46] It shall be eaten in one house; you shall not take any of the flesh outside the house, and you shall not break any of its bones.

[12:47] All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

[12:48] If a stranger shall sojourn with you and would keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised. Then he may come near and keep it; he shall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.

[12:49] There shall be one law for the native and for the stranger who sojourns among you.”

[12:50] All the people of Israel did just as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron.

[12:51] And on that very day the Lord brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.
