Exod.11.1

God said to Moses: "I'm going to hit Pharaoh and Egypt one final time, and then he'll let you go. When he releases you, that will be the end of Egypt for you; he won't be able to get rid of you fast enough.

Exod.11.1

Now the LORD had said to Moses, "I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. After that, he will let you go from here, and when he does, he will drive you out completely.

Exod.11.1

And the LORD said to Moses, "I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. Afterward he will let you go from here. When he lets you go, he will surely drive you out of here altogether.

Exod.11.1

Then the LORD said to Moses, "I will send just one more disaster on Pharaoh and the land of Egypt. After that, Pharaoh will let you go. In fact, he will be so anxious to get rid of you that he will practically force you to leave the country.

Exod.11.2

"So here's what you do. Tell the people to ask, each man from his neighbor and each woman from her neighbor, for things made of silver and gold."

Exod.11.2

Tell the people that men and women alike are to ask their neighbors for articles of silver and gold."

Exod.11.2

Speak now in the hearing of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor, articles of silver and articles of gold."

Exod.11.2

Tell all the Israelite men and women to ask their Egyptian neighbors for articles of silver and gold."

Exod.11.3

GOD saw to it that the Egyptians liked the people. Also, Moses was greatly admired by the Egyptians, a respected public figure among both Pharaoh's servants and the people at large.

Exod.11.3

(The LORD made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and Moses himself was highly regarded in Egypt by Pharaoh's officials and by the people.)

Exod.11.3

And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and in the sight of the people.

Exod.11.3

(Now the LORD had caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the people of Israel, and Moses was considered a very great man in the land of Egypt. He was respected by Pharaoh's officials and the Egyptian people alike.)

Exod.11.4

Then Moses confronted Pharaoh: "GOD's Message: "At midnight I will go through Egypt

Exod.11.4

So Moses said, "This is what the LORD says: 'About midnight I will go throughout Egypt.

Exod.11.4

Then Moses said, "Thus says the LORD: "About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt;

Exod.11.4

So Moses announced to Pharaoh, "This is what the LORD says: About midnight I will pass through Egypt.

Exod.11.5

and every firstborn child in Egypt will die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, to the firstborn of the slave girl working at her hand mill. Also the firstborn of animals.

Exod.11.5

Every firstborn son in Egypt will die, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the firstborn son of the slave girl, who is at her hand mill, and all the firstborn of the cattle as well.

Exod.11.5

and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the handmill, and all the firstborn of the animals.

Exod.11.5

All the firstborn sons will die in every family in Egypt, from the oldest son of Pharaoh, who sits on the throne, to the oldest son of his lowliest slave. Even the firstborn of the animals will die.

Exod.11.6

Widespread wailing will erupt all over the country, lament such as has never been and never will be again.

Exod.11.6

There will be loud wailing throughout Egypt-worse than there has ever been or ever will be again.

Exod.11.6

Then there shall be a great cry throughout all the land of Egypt, such as was not like it before, nor shall be like it again.

Exod.11.6

Then a loud wail will be heard throughout the land of Egypt; there has never been such wailing before, and there never will be again.

Exod.11.7

But against the Israelites--man, woman, or animal--there won't be so much as a dog's bark, so that you'll know that GOD makes a clear distinction between Egypt and Israel.'

Exod.11.7

But among the Israelites not a dog will bark at any man or animal.' Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.

Exod.11.7

But against none of the children of Israel shall a dog move its tongue, against man or beast, that you may know that the LORD does make a difference between the Egyptians and Israel.'

Exod.11.7

But among the Israelites it will be so peaceful that not even a dog will bark. Then you will know that the LORD makes a distinction between the Egyptians and the Israelites.

Exod.11.8

"Then all these servants of yours will go to their knees, begging me to leave, "Leave! You and all the people who follow you!' And I will most certainly leave." Moses, seething with anger, left Pharaoh.

Exod.11.8

All these officials of yours will come to me, bowing down before me and saying, 'Go, you and all the people who follow you!' After that I will leave." Then Moses, hot with anger, left Pharaoh.

Exod.11.8

And all these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, "Get out, and all the people who follow you!' After that I will go out." Then he went out from Pharaoh in great anger.

Exod.11.8

All the officials of Egypt will come running to me, bowing low. `Please leave!' they will beg. `Hurry! And take all your followers with you.' Only then will I go!" Then, burning with anger, Moses left Pharaoh's presence.

Exod.11.9

GOD said to Moses, "Pharaoh's not going to listen to a thing you say so that the signs of my presence and work are going to multiply in the land of Egypt."

Exod.11.9

The LORD had said to Moses, "Pharaoh will refuse to listen to you-so that my wonders may be multiplied in Egypt."

Exod.11.9

But the LORD said to Moses, "Pharaoh will not heed you, so that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt."

Exod.11.9

Now the LORD had told Moses, "Pharaoh will not listen to you. But this will give me the opportunity to do even more mighty miracles in the land of Egypt."

Exod.11.10

Moses and Aaron had performed all these signs in Pharaoh's presence, but GOD turned Pharaoh more stubborn than ever--yet again he refused to release the Israelites from his land. [JC]

Exod.11.10

Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh, but the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let the Israelites go out of his country.

Exod.11.10

So Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh; and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

Exod.11.10

Although Moses and Aaron did these miracles in Pharaoh's presence, the LORD hardened his heart so he wouldn't let the Israelites leave the country.

Exod.12.1

GOD said to Moses and Aaron while still in Egypt,

Exod.12.1

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in Egypt,

Exod.12.1

Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,

Exod.12.1

Now the LORD gave the following instructions to Moses and Aaron while they were still in the land of Egypt:

Exod.12.2

"This month is to be the first month of the year for you.

Exod.12.2

"This month is to be for you the first month, the first month of your year.

Exod.12.2

Exod.12.2

"From now on, this month will be the first month of the year for you.

Exod.12.3

Address the whole community of Israel; tell them that on the tenth of this month each man is to take a lamb for his family, one lamb to a house.

Exod.12.3

Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: "On the tenth of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a household.

Exod.12.3

Announce to the whole community that on the tenth day of this month each family must choose a lamb or a young goat for a sacrifice.

Exod.12.4

If the family is too small for a lamb, then share it with a close neighbor, depending on the number of persons involved. Be mindful of how much each person will eat.

Exod.12.4

If any household is too small for a whole lamb, they must share one with their nearest neighbor, having taken into account the number of people there are. You are to determine the amount of lamb needed in accordance with what each person will eat.

Exod.12.4

And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man's need you shall make your count for the lamb.

Exod.12.4

If a family is too small to eat an entire lamb, let them share the lamb with another family in the neighborhood. Whether or not they share in this way depends on the size of each family and how much they can eat.

Exod.12.5

Your lamb must be a healthy male, one year old; you can select it from either the sheep or the goats.

Exod.12.5

The animals you choose must be year-old males without defect, and you may take them from the sheep or the goats.

Exod.12.5

Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year. You may take it from the sheep or from the goats.

Exod.12.5

This animal must be a one-year-old male, either a sheep or a goat, with no physical defects.

Exod.12.6

Keep it penned until the fourteenth day of this month and then slaughter it--the entire community of Israel will do this--at dusk.

Exod.12.6

Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month, when all the people of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight.

Exod.12.6

Now you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it at twilight.

Exod.12.6

"Take special care of these lambs until the evening of the fourteenth day of this first month. Then each family in the community must slaughter its lamb.

Exod.12.7

Then take some of the blood and smear it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which you will eat it.

Exod.12.7

Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs.

And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel of the houses where they eat it.

Exod.12.7

They are to take some of the lamb's blood and smear it on the top and sides of the doorframe of the house where the lamb will be eaten.

Exod.12.8

You are to eat the meat, roasted in the fire, that night, along with bread, made without yeast, and bitter herbs.

Exod.12.8

That same night they are to eat the meat roasted over the fire, along with bitter herbs, and bread made without yeast.

Then they shall eat the flesh on that night; roasted in fire, with unleavened bread and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.

Exod.12.8

That evening everyone must eat roast lamb with bitter herbs and bread made without yeast.

Exod.12.9

Don't eat any of it raw or boiled in water; make sure it's roasted--the whole animal, head, legs, and innards.

Exod.12.9

Do not eat the meat raw or cooked in water, but roast it over the fire-head, legs and inner parts.

Exod.12.9

Do not eat it raw, nor boiled at all with water, but roasted in fire--its head with its legs and its entrails.

Exod.12.9

The meat must never be eaten raw or boiled; roast it all, including the head, legs, and internal organs.

Exod.12.10

Don't leave any of it until morning; if there are leftovers, burn them in the fire.

Exod.12.10

Do not leave any of it till morning; if some is left till morning, you must burn it.

Exod.12.10

You shall let none of it remain until morning, and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire.

Exod.12.10

Do not leave any of it until the next day. Whatever is not eaten that night must be burned before morning.

Exod.12.11

"And here is how you are to eat it: Be fully dressed with your sandals on and your stick in your hand. Eat in a hurry; it's the Passover to GOD.

Exod.12.11

This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the LORD's Passover.

Exod.12.11

And thus you shall eat it: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the LORD's Passover.

Exod.12.11

"Wear your traveling clothes as you eat this meal, as though prepared for a long journey. Wear your sandals, and carry your walking sticks in your hands. Eat the food quickly, for this is the LORD's Passover.

Exod.12.12

"I will go through the land of Egypt on this night and strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, whether human or animal, and bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am GOD.

Exod.12.12

"On that same night I will pass through Egypt and strike down every firstborn-both men and animals-and I will bring judgment on all the gods of Egypt. I am the LORD.

Exod.12.12

"For I will pass through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD.

Exod.12.12

On that night I will pass through the land of Egypt and kill all the firstborn sons and firstborn male animals in the land of Egypt. I will execute judgment against all the gods of Egypt, for I am the LORD!

Exod.12.13

The blood will serve as a sign on the houses where you live. When I see the blood I will pass over you--no disaster will touch you when I strike the land of Egypt.

Exod.12.13

The blood will be a sign for you on the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you. No destructive plague will touch you when I strike Egypt.

Exod.12.13

Now the blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you are. And when I see the blood, I will pass over you; and the plague shall not be on you to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

Exod.12.13

The blood you have smeared on your doorposts will serve as a sign. When I see the blood, I will pass over you. This plague of death will not touch you when I strike the land of Egypt.

Exod.12.14

"This will be a memorial day for you; you will celebrate it as a festival to GOD down through the generations, a fixed festival celebration to be observed always.

Exod.12.14

"This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD -a lasting ordinance.

Exod.12.14

"So this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast to the LORD throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by an everlasting ordinance.

Exod.12.14

"You must remember this day forever. Each year you will celebrate it as a special festival to the LORD.

Exod.12.15

You will eat unraised bread (matzoth) for seven days: On the first day get rid of all yeast from your houses--anyone who eats anything with yeast from the first day to the seventh day will be cut off from Israel.

Exod.12.15

For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast. On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel.

Exod.12.15

Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.

Exod.12.15

For seven days, you may eat only bread made without yeast. On the very first day you must remove every trace of yeast from your homes. Anyone who eats bread made with yeast at any time during the seven days of the festival will be cut off from the community of Israel.

Exod.12.16

The first and the seventh days are set aside as holy; do no work on those days. Only what you have to do for meals; each person can do that.

Exod.12.16

On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the seventh day. Do no work at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat-that is all you may do.

Exod.12.16

On the first day there shall be a holy convocation, and on the seventh day there shall be a holy convocation for you. No manner of work shall be done on them; but that which everyone must eat--that only may be prepared by you.

Exod.12.16

On the first day of the festival, and again on the seventh day, all the people must gather for a time of special worship. No work of any kind may be done on these days except in the preparation of food.

Exod.12.17

"Keep the Festival of Unraised Bread! This marks the exact day I brought you out in force from the land of Egypt. Honor the day down through your generations, a fixed festival to be observed always.

Exod.12.17

"Celebrate the Feast of Unleavened Bread, because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt. Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.

Exod.12.17

So you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I will have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as an everlasting ordinance.

Exod.12.17

"Celebrate this Festival of Unleavened Bread, for it will remind you that I brought your forces out of the land of Egypt on this very day. This festival will be a permanent regulation for you, to be kept from generation to generation.

In the first month, beginning on the fourteenth day at evening until the twenty-first day at evening, you are to eat unraised bread.

Exod.12.18

In the first month you are to eat bread made without yeast, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day.

Exod.12.18

In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening.

Exod.12.18

Only bread without yeast may be eaten from the evening of the fourteenth day of the month until the evening of the twenty-first day of the month.

Exod.12.19

For those seven days not a trace of yeast is to be found in your houses. Anyone, whether a visitor or a native of the land, who eats anything raised shall be cut off from the community of Israel.

Exod.12.19

For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses. And whoever eats anything with yeast in it must be cut off from the community of Israel, whether he is an alien or native-born.

Exod.12.19

For seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses, since whoever eats what is leavened, that same person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a stranger or a native of the land.

Exod.12.19

During those seven days, there must be no trace of yeast in your homes. Anyone who eats anything made with yeast during this week will be cut off from the community of Israel. These same regulations apply to the foreigners living with you, as if they had been born among you.

Exod.12.20

Don't eat anything raised. Only matzoth."

Exod.12.20

Eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live, you must eat unleavened bread."

Exod.12.20

You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread."'

Exod.12.20

I repeat, during those days you must not eat anything made with yeast. Wherever you live, eat only bread that has no yeast in it."

Exod.12.21

Moses assembled all the elders of Israel. He said, "Select a lamb for your families and slaughter the Passover lamb.

Exod.12.21

Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, "Go at once and select the animals for your families and slaughter the Passover lamb.

Exod.12.21

Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, "Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover lamb.

Exod.12.21

Then Moses called for the leaders of Israel and said, "Tell each of your families to slaughter the lamb they have set apart for the Passover.

Take a bunch of hyssop and dip it in the bowl of blood and smear it on the lintel and on the two doorposts. No one is to leave the house until morning.

Exod.12.22

Take a bunch of hyssop, dip it into the blood in the basin and put some of the blood on the top and on both sides of the doorframe. Not one of you shall go out the door of his house until morning.

Exod.12.22

And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning.

Exod.12.22

Drain each lamb's blood into a basin. Then take a cluster of hyssop branches and dip it into the lamb's blood. Strike the hyssop against the top and sides of the doorframe, staining it with the blood. And remember, no one is allowed to leave the house until morning.

Exod.12.23

GOD will pass through to strike Egypt down. When he sees the blood on the lintel and the two door posts, GOD will pass over the doorway; he won't let the destroyer enter your house to strike you down with ruin.

Exod.12.23

When the LORD goes through the land to strike down the Egyptians, he will see the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe and will pass over that doorway, and he will not permit the destroyer to enter your houses and strike you down.

Exod.12.23

For the LORD will pass through to strike the Egyptians; and when He sees the blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, the LORD will pass over the door and not allow the destroyer to come into your houses to strike you.

Exod.12.23

For the LORD will pass through the land and strike down the Egyptians. But when he sees the blood on the top and sides of the doorframe, the LORD will pass over your home. He will not permit the Destroyer to enter and strike down your firstborn.

Exod.12.24

"Keep this word. It's the law for you and your children, forever.

Exod.12.24

"Obey these instructions as a lasting ordinance for you and your descendants.

Exod.12.24

And you shall observe this thing as an ordinance for you and your sons forever.

Exod.12.24

"Remember, these instructions are permanent and must be observed by you and your descendants forever.

Exod.12.25

When you enter the land which GOD will give you as he promised, keep doing this.

Exod.12.25

When you enter the land that the LORD will give you as he promised, observe this ceremony.

Exod.12.25

It will come to pass when you come to the land which the LORD will give you, just as He promised, that you shall keep this service.

Exod.12.25

When you arrive in the land the LORD has promised to give you, you will continue to celebrate this festival.

Exod.12.26

And when your children say to you, "Why are we doing this?'

Exod.12.26

And when your children ask you, 'What does this ceremony mean to you?'

Exod.12.26

And it shall be, when your children say to you, "What do you mean by this service?'

Exod.12.26

Then your children will ask, `What does all this mean? What is this ceremony about?'

Exod.12.27

tell them: "It's the Passover-sacrifice to GOD who passed over the homes of the Israelites in Egypt when he hit Egypt with death but rescued us.'" The people bowed and worshiped.

Exod.12.27

then tell them, 'It is the Passover sacrifice to the LORD, who passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt and spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.'" Then the people bowed down and worshiped.

Exod.12.27

that you shall say, "It is the Passover sacrifice of the LORD, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households."' So the people bowed their heads and worshiped.

Exod.12.27

And you will reply, `It is the celebration of the LORD's Passover, for he passed over the homes of the Israelites in Egypt. And though he killed the Egyptians, he spared our families and did not destroy us.'" Then all the people bowed their heads and worshiped.

Exod.12.28

The Israelites then went and did what GOD had commanded Moses and Aaron. They did it all. [JC]

Exod.12.28

The Israelites did just what the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron.

Exod.12.28

Then the children of Israel went away and did so; just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

Exod.12.28

So the people of Israel did just as the LORD had commanded through Moses and Aaron.

Exod.12.29

At midnight GOD struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, right down to the firstborn of the prisoner locked up in jail. Also the firstborn of the animals.

Exod.12.29

At midnight the LORD struck down all the firstborn in Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn of the prisoner, who was in the dungeon, and the firstborn of all the livestock as well.

And at midnight the LORD killed all the firstborn sons in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn son of Pharaoh, who sat on the throne, to the firstborn son of the captive in the dungeon. Even the firstborn of their livestock were killed.

Exod.12.30

Pharaoh got up that night, he and all his servants and everyone else in Egypt--what wild wailing and lament in Egypt! There wasn't a house in which someone wasn't dead.

Exod.12.30

Pharaoh and all his officials and all the Egyptians got up during the night, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead.

Exod.12.30

So Pharaoh rose in the night, he, all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

Exod.12.30

Pharaoh and his officials and all the people of Egypt woke up during the night, and loud wailing was heard throughout the land of Egypt. There was not a single house where someone had not died.

Exod.12.31

Pharaoh called in Moses and Aaron that very night and said, "Get out of here and be done with you--you and your Israelites! Go worship GOD on your own terms.

Exod.12.31

During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, "Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the LORD as you have requested.

Exod.12.31

Then he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, "Rise, go out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel. And go, serve the LORD as you have said.

Exod.12.31

Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron during the night. "Leave us!" he cried. "Go away, all of you! Go and serve the LORD as you have requested.

Exod.12.32

And yes, take your sheep and cattle as you've insisted, but go. And bless me."

Exod.12.32

Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me."

Exod.12.32

Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also."

Exod.12.32

Take your flocks and herds, and be gone. Go, but give me a blessing as you leave."

Exod.12.33

The Egyptians couldn't wait to get rid of them; they pushed them to hurry up, saying, "We're all as good as dead."

Exod.12.33

The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country. "For otherwise," they said, "we will all die!"

Exod.12.33

And the Egyptians urged the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste. For they said, "We shall all be dead."

Exod.12.33

All the Egyptians urged the people of Israel to get out of the land as quickly as possible, for they thought, "We will all die!"

Exod.12.34

The people grabbed their bread dough before it had risen, bundled their bread bowls in their cloaks and threw them over their shoulders.

Exod.12.34

So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs wrapped in clothing.

Exod.12.34

So the people took their dough before it was leavened, having their kneading bowls bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.

Exod.12.34

The Israelites took with them their bread dough made without yeast. They wrapped their kneading bowls in their spare clothing and carried them on their shoulders.

Exod.12.35

The Israelites had already done what Moses had told them; they had asked the Egyptians for silver and gold things and clothing.

Exod.12.35

The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing.

Exod.12.35

Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked from the Egyptians articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing.

Exod.12.35

And the people of Israel did as Moses had instructed and asked the Egyptians for clothing and articles of silver and gold.

Exod.12.36

GOD saw to it that the Egyptians liked the people and so readily gave them what they asked for. Oh yes! They picked those Egyptians clean.

Exod.12.36

The LORD had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians.

Exod.12.36

And the LORD had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.

Exod.12.36

The LORD caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the Israelites, and they gave the Israelites whatever they asked for. So, like a victorious army, they plundered the Egyptians!

Exod.12.37

The Israelites moved on from Rameses to Succoth, about 600,000 on foot, besides their dependents.

Exod.12.37

The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.

Exod.12.37

Then the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides children.

Exod.12.37

That night the people of Israel left Rameses and started for Succoth. There were about 600,000 men, plus all the women and children. And they were all traveling on foot.

Exod.12.38

There was also a crowd of riffraff tagging along, not to mention the large flocks and herds of livestock.

Exod.12.38

Many other people went up with them, as well as large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.

Exod.12.38

A mixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds--a great deal of livestock.

Exod.12.38

Many people who were not Israelites went with them, along with the many flocks and herds.

Exod.12.39

They baked unraised cakes with the bread dough they had brought out of Egypt; it hadn't raised--they'd been rushed out of Egypt and hadn't time to fix food for the journey.

Exod.12.39

With the dough they had brought from Egypt, they baked cakes of unleavened bread. The dough was without yeast because they had been driven out of Egypt and did not have time to prepare food for themselves.

Exod.12.39

And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared provisions for themselves.

Exod.12.39

Whenever they stopped to eat, they baked bread from the yeastless dough they had brought from Egypt. It was made without yeast because the people were rushed out of Egypt and had no time to wait for bread to rise.

Exod.12.40

The Israelites had lived in Egypt 430 years.

Exod.12.40

Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt was 430 years.

Exod.12.40

Now the sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.

Exod.12.40

The people of Israel had lived in Egypt for 430 years.

Exod.12.41

At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, GOD's entire army left Egypt.

Exod.12.41

At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD's divisions left Egypt.

Exod.12.41

And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years--on that very same day--it came to pass that all the armies of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

Exod.12.41

In fact, it was on the last day of the 430th year that all the LORD's forces left the land.

Exod.12.42

GOD kept watch all night, watching over the Israelites as he brought them out of Egypt. Because GOD kept watch, all Israel for all generations will honor GOD by keeping watch this night--a watchnight. [JC]

Exod.12.42

Because the LORD kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the LORD for the generations to come.

Exod.12.42

It is a night of solemn observance to the LORD for bringing them out of the land of Egypt. This is that night of the LORD, a solemn observance for all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

Exod.12.42

This night had been reserved by the LORD to bring his people out from the land of Egypt, so this same night now belongs to him. It must be celebrated every year, from generation to generation, to remember the LORD's deliverance.

Exod.12.43

GOD said to Moses and Aaron, "These are the rules for the Passover: No foreigners are to eat it.

Exod.12.43

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "These are the regulations for the Passover: "No foreigner is to eat of it.

Exod.12.43

And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of the Passover: No foreigner shall eat it.

Exod.12.43

Then the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "These are the regulations for the festival of Passover. No foreigners are allowed to eat the Passover lamb.

Exod.12.44

Any slave, if he's paid for and circumcised, can eat it.

Exod.12.44

Any slave you have bought may eat of it after you have circumcised him,

Exod.12.44

But every man's servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then he may eat it.

Exod.12.44

But any slave who has been purchased may eat it if he has been circumcised.

Exod.12.45

No casual visitor or hired hand can eat it.

Exod.12.45

but a temporary resident and a hired worker may not eat of it.

Exod.12.45

A sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat it.

Exod.12.45

Hired servants and visiting foreigners may not eat it.

Exod.12.46

Eat it in one house--don't take the meat outside the house. Don't break any of the bones.

Exod.12.46

"It must be eaten inside one house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones.

Exod.12.46

In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry any of the flesh outside the house, nor shall you break one of its bones.

Exod.12.46

All who eat the lamb must eat it together in one house. You must not carry any of its meat outside, and you may not break any of its bones.

Exod.12.47

The whole community of Israel is to be included in the meal.

Exod.12.47

The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.

Exod.12.47

All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.

Exod.12.47

The whole community of Israel must celebrate this festival at the same time.

Exod.12.48

"If an immigrant is staying with you and wants to keep the Passover to GOD, every male in his family must be circumcised, then he can participate in the Meal--he will then be treated as a native son. But no uncircumcised person can eat it.

Exod.12.48

"An alien living among you who wants to celebrate the LORD's Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised; then he may take part like one born in the land. No uncircumcised male may eat of it.

Exod.12.48

And when a stranger dwells with you and wants to keep the Passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as a native of the land. For no uncircumcised person shall eat it.

Exod.12.48

"If there are foreigners living among you who want to celebrate the LORD's Passover, let all the males be circumcised. Then they may come and celebrate the Passover with you. They will be treated just as if they had been born among you. But an uncircumcised male may never eat of the Passover lamb.

Exod.12.49

"The same law applies both to the native and the immigrant who is staying with you."

Exod.12.49

The same law applies to the native-born and to the alien living among you."

Exod.12.49

One law shall be for the native-born and for the stranger who dwells among you."

Exod.12.49

This law applies to everyone, whether a native-born Israelite or a foreigner who has settled among you."

Exod.12.50

All the Israelites did exactly as GOD commanded Moses and Aaron.

Exod.12.50

All the Israelites did just what the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

Exod.12.50

Thus all the children of Israel did; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

Exod.12.50

So the people of Israel followed all the LORD's instructions to Moses and Aaron.

Exod.12.51

That very day GOD brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt, tribe by tribe. [JC]

Exod.12.51

And on that very day the LORD brought the Israelites out of Egypt by their divisions.

Exod.12.51

And it came to pass, on that very same day, that the LORD brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their armies.

Exod.12.51

And that very day the LORD began to lead the people of Israel out of Egypt, division by division.

Matt.27.11

Jesus was placed before the governor, who questioned him: "Are you the "King of the Jews'?" Jesus said, "If you say so."

Matt.27.11

Meanwhile Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor asked him, "Are you the king of the Jews?Yes, it is as you say," Jesus replied.

Matt.27.11

Now Jesus stood before the governor. And the governor asked Him, saying, "Are You the King of the Jews?" Jesus said to him, "It is as you say."

Matt.27.11

Now Jesus was standing before Pilate, the Roman governor. "Are you the King of the Jews?" the governor asked him. Jesus replied, "Yes, it is as you say."

Matt.27.12

But when the accusations rained down hot and heavy from the high priests and religious leaders, he said nothing.

Matt.27.12

When he was accused by the chief priests and the elders, he gave no answer.

Matt.27.12

And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He answered nothing.

Matt.27.12

But when the leading priests and other leaders made their accusations against him, Jesus remained silent.

Matt.27.13

Pilate asked him, "Do you hear that long list of accusations? Aren't you going to say something?"

Matt.27.13

Then Pilate asked him, "Don't you hear the testimony they are bringing against you?"

Matt.27.13

Then Pilate said to Him, "Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?"

Matt.27.13

"Don't you hear their many charges against you?" Pilate demanded.

Matt.27.14

Jesus kept silence--not a word from his mouth. The governor was impressed, really impressed.

Matt.27.14

But Jesus made no reply, not even to a single charge--to the great amazement of the governor.

Matt.27.14

But He answered him not one word, so that the governor marveled greatly.

Matt.27.14

But Jesus said nothing, much to the governor's great surprise.

Matt.27.15

It was an old custom during the Feast for the governor to pardon a single prisoner named by the crowd.

Matt.27.15

Now it was the governor's custom at the Feast to release a prisoner chosen by the crowd.

Matt.27.15

Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to releasing to the multitude one prisoner whom they wished.

Matt.27.15

Now it was the governor's custom to release one prisoner to the crowd each year during the Passover celebration--anyone they wanted.

Matt.27.16

At the time, they had the infamous Jesus Barabbas in prison.

Matt.27.16

At that time they had a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.

Matt.27.16

And at that time they had a notorious prisoner called Barabbas.

Matt.27.16

This year there was a notorious criminal in prison, a man named Barabbas.

Matt.27.17

With the crowd before him, Pilate said, "Which prisoner do you want me to pardon: Jesus Barabbas, or Jesus the so-called Christ?"

Matt.27.17

So when the crowd had gathered, Pilate asked them, "Which one do you want me to release to you: Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"

Matt.27.17

Therefore, when they had gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release to you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"

Matt.27.17

As the crowds gathered before Pilate's house that morning, he asked them, "Which one do you want me to release to you--Barabbas, or Jesus who is called the Messiah?"

Matt.27.18

He knew it was through sheer spite that they had turned Jesus over to him.

Matt.27.18

For he knew it was out of envy that they had handed Jesus over to him.

Matt.27.18

For he knew that they had handed Him over because of envy.

Matt.27.18

(He knew very well that the Jewish leaders had arrested Jesus out of envy.)

Matt.27.19

While court was still in session, Pilate's wife sent him a message: "Don't get mixed up in judging this noble man. I've just been through a long and troubled night because of a dream about him."

Matt.27.19

While Pilate was sitting on the judge's seat, his wife sent him this message: "Don't have anything to do with that innocent man, for I have suffered a great deal today in a dream because of him."

Matt.27.19

While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent to him, saying, "Have nothing to do with that just Man, for I have suffered many things today in a dream because of Him."

Matt.27.19

Just then, as Pilate was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him this message: "Leave that innocent man alone, because I had a terrible nightmare about him last night."

Matt.27.20

Meanwhile, the high priests and religious leaders had talked the crowd into asking for the pardon of Barabbas and the execution of Jesus.

Matt.27.20

But the chief priests and the elders persuaded the crowd to ask for Barabbas and to have Jesus executed.

Matt.27.20

But the chief priests and elders persuaded the multitudes that they should ask for Barabbas and destroy Jesus.

Matt.27.20

Meanwhile, the leading priests and other leaders persuaded the crowds to ask for Barabbas to be released and for Jesus to be put to death.

Matt.27.21

The governor asked, "Which of the two do you want me to pardon?" They said, "Barabbas!"

Matt.27.21

"Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" asked the governor. "Barabbas," they answered.

Matt.27.21

The governor answered and said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release to you?" They said, "Barabbas!"

Matt.27.21

So when the governor asked again, "Which of these two do you want me to release to you?" the crowd shouted back their reply: "Barabbas!"

Matt.27.22

"Then what do I do with Jesus, the so-called Christ?" They all shouted, "Nail him to a cross!"

Matt.27.22

"What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ?" Pilate asked. They all answered, "Crucify him!"

Matt.27.22

Pilate said to them, "What then shall I do with Jesus who is called Christ?" They all said to him, "Let Him be crucified!"

Matt.27.22

"But if I release Barabbas," Pilate asked them, "what should I do with Jesus who is called the Messiah?" And they all shouted, "Crucify him!"

Matt.27.23

He objected, "But for what crime?" But they yelled all the louder, "Nail him to a cross!"

Matt.27.23

"Why? What crime has he committed?" asked Pilate. But they shouted all the louder, "Crucify him!"

Matt.27.23

Then the governor said, "Why, what evil has He done?" But they cried out all the more, saying, "Let Him be crucified!"

Matt.27.23

"Why?" Pilate demanded. "What crime has he committed?" But the crowd only roared the louder, "Crucify him!"

Matt.27.24

When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere and that a riot was imminent, he took a basin of water and washed his hands in full sight of the crowd, saying, "I'm washing my hands of responsibility for this man's death. From now on, it's in your hands. You're judge and jury."

Matt.27.24

When Pilate saw that he was getting nowhere, but that instead an uproar was starting, he took water and washed his hands in front of the crowd. "I am innocent of this man's blood," he said. "It is your responsibility!"

Matt.27.24

When Pilate saw that he could not prevail at all, but rather that a tumult was rising, he took water and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this just Person. You see to it."

Matt.27.24

Pilate saw that he wasn't getting anywhere and that a riot was developing. So he sent for a bowl of water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, "I am innocent of the blood of this man. The responsibility is yours!"

Matt.27.25

The crowd answered, "We'll take the blame, we and our children after us."

Matt.27.25

All the people answered, "Let his blood be on us and on our children!"

Matt.27.25

And all the people answered and said, "His blood be on us and on our children."

Matt.27.25

And all the people yelled back, "We will take responsibility for his death--we and our children!"

Matt.27.26

Then he pardoned Barabbas. But he had Jesus whipped, and then handed over for crucifixion.

Matt.27.26

Then he released Barabbas to them. But he had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.

Matt.27.26

Then he released Barabbas to them; and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered Him to be crucified.

Matt.27.26

So Pilate released Barabbas to them. He ordered Jesus flogged with a lead-tipped whip, then turned him over to the Roman soldiers to crucify him.

Matt.27.27

The soldiers assigned to the governor took Jesus into the governor's palace and got the entire brigade together for some fun.

Matt.27.27

Then the governor's soldiers took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole company of soldiers around him.

Matt.27.27

Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the Praetorium and gathered the whole garrison around Him.

Matt.27.27

Some of the governor's soldiers took Jesus into their headquarters and called out the entire battalion.

Matt.27.28

They stripped him and dressed him in a red toga.

Matt.27.28

They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him,

Matt.27.28

And they stripped Him and put a scarlet robe on Him.

Matt.27.28

They stripped him and put a scarlet robe on him.

Matt.27.29

They plaited a crown from branches of a thorn bush and set it on his head. They put a stick in his right hand for a scepter. Then they knelt before him in mocking reverence: "Bravo, King of the Jews!" they said. "Bravo!"

Matt.27.29

and then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on his head. They put a staff in his right hand and knelt in front of him and mocked him. "Hail, king of the Jews!" they said.

Matt.27.29

When they had twisted a crown of thorns, they put it on His head, and a reed in His right hand. And they bowed the knee before Him and mocked Him, saying, "Hail, King of the Jews!"

Matt.27.29

They made a crown of long, sharp thorns and put it on his head, and they placed a stick in his right hand as a scepter. Then they knelt before him in mockery, yelling, "Hail! King of the Jews!"

Matt.27.30

Then they spit on him and hit him on the head with the stick.

Matt.27.30

They spit on him, and took the staff and struck him on the head again and again.

Matt.27.30

Then they spat on Him, and took the reed and struck Him on the head.

Matt.27.30

And they spit on him and grabbed the stick and beat him on the head with it.

Matt.27.31

When they had had their fun, they took off the toga and put his own clothes back on him. Then they proceeded out to the crucifixion.

Matt.27.31

After they had mocked him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him away to crucify him.

Matt.27.31

And when they had mocked Him, they took the robe off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him away to be crucified.

Matt.27.31

When they were finally tired of mocking him, they took off the robe and put his own clothes on him again. Then they led him away to be crucified.

Matt.27.32

Along the way they came on a man from Cyrene named Simon and made him carry Jesus' cross.

Matt.27.32

As they were going out, they met a man from Cyrene, named Simon, and they forced him to carry the cross.

Matt.27.32

Now as they came out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. Him they compelled to bear His cross.

Matt.27.32

As they were on the way, they came across a man named Simon, who was from Cyrene, and they forced him to carry Jesus' cross.

Matt.27.33

Arriving at Golgotha, the place they call "Skull Hill,"

Matt.27.33

They came to a place called Golgotha (which means The Place of the Skull).

Matt.27.33

And when they had come to a place called Golgotha, that is to say, Place of a Skull,

Matt.27.33

Then they went out to a place called Golgotha (which means Skull Hill).

Matt.27.34

they offered him a mild painkiller (a mixture of wine and myrrh), but when he tasted it he wouldn't drink it.

Matt.27.34

There they offered Jesus wine to drink, mixed with gall; but after tasting it, he refused to drink it.

Matt.27.34

they gave Him sour wine mingled with gall to drink. But when He had tasted it, He would not drink.

Matt.27.34

The soldiers gave him wine mixed with bitter gall, but when he had tasted it, he refused to drink it.

Matt.27.35

After they had finished nailing him to the cross and were waiting for him to die, they whiled away the time by throwing dice for his clothes.

Matt.27.35

When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots.

Matt.27.35

Then they crucified Him, and divided His garments, casting lots, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: "They divided My garments among them, And for My clothing they cast lots."

Matt.27.35

After they had nailed him to the cross, the soldiers gambled for his clothes by throwing dice.

Matt.27.36

Above his head they had posted the criminal charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Matt.27.36

And sitting down, they kept watch over him there.

Matt.27.36

Sitting down, they kept watch over Him there.

Matt.27.36

Then they sat around and kept guard as he hung there.

Matt.27.37

Along with him, they also crucified two criminals, one to his right, the other to his left.

Matt.27.37

Above his head they placed the written charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Matt.27.37

And they put up over His head the accusation written against Him: THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

Matt.27.37

A signboard was fastened to the cross above Jesus' head, announcing the charge against him. It read: "This is Jesus, the King of the Jews."

Matt.27.38

People passing along the road jeered, shaking their heads in mock lament:

Matt.27.38

Two robbers were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left.

Matt.27.38

Then two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and another on the left.

Matt.27.38

Two criminals were crucified with him, their crosses on either side of his.

Matt.27.39

"You bragged that you could tear down the Temple and then rebuild it in three days--so show us your stuff! Save yourself! If you're really God's Son, come down from that cross!"

Matt.27.39

Those who passed by hurled insults at him, shaking their heads

Matt.27.39

And those who passed by blasphemed Him, wagging their heads

Matt.27.39

And the people passing by shouted abuse, shaking their heads in mockery.

Matt.27.40

The high priests, along with the religion scholars and leaders, were right there mixing it up with the rest of them, having a great time poking fun at him:

Matt.27.40

and saying, "You who are going to destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! Come down from the cross, if you are the Son of God!"

Matt.27.40

and saying, "You who destroy the temple and build it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross."

Matt.27.40

"So! You can destroy the Temple and build it again in three days, can you? Well then, if you are the Son of God, save yourself and come down from the cross!"

Matt.27.41

"He saved others--he can't save himself! King of Israel, is he? Then let him get down from that cross. We'll all become believers then!

Matt.27.41

In the same way the chief priests, the teachers of the law and the elders mocked him.

Matt.27.41

Likewise the chief priests also, mocking with the scribes and elders, said,

Matt.27.41

The leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the other leaders also mocked Jesus.

Matt.27.42

He was so sure of God--well, let him rescue his "Son' now--if he wants him! He did claim to be God's Son, didn't he?"

Matt.27.42

"He saved others," they said, "but he can't save himself! He's the King of Israel! Let him come down now from the cross, and we will believe in him.

Matt.27.42

"He saved others; Himself He cannot save. If He is the King of Israel, let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe Him.

Matt.27.42

"He saved others," they scoffed, "but he can't save himself! So he is the king of Israel, is he? Let him come down from the cross, and we will believe in him!

Matt.27.43

Even the two criminals crucified next to him joined in the mockery.

Matt.27.43

He trusts in God. Let God rescue him now if he wants him, for he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"

Matt.27.43

He trusted in God; let Him deliver Him now if He will have Him; for He said, "I am the Son of God."'

Matt.27.43

He trusted God--let God show his approval by delivering him! For he said, 'I am the Son of God.'"

Matt.27.44

From noon to three, the whole earth was dark.

Matt.27.44

In the same way the robbers who were crucified with him also heaped insults on him.

Matt.27.44

Even the robbers who were crucified with Him reviled Him with the same thing.

Matt.27.44

And the criminals who were crucified with him also shouted the same insults at him.
