The Exodus

3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day (10th) of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:

4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.

5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:

6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day (14th) of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.

29 And it came to pass, that at midnight YHWH smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.

30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and 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.

51 And it came to pass the selfsame day (15th), that YHWH did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

Exodus 12

 

22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea (16th) upon the dry ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left.

30 Thus YHWH saved Israel that day (17th) out of the hand of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead upon the sea shore.
