以色列人家家户户准备过逾越节
【出12:21】 于是,摩西召了以色列的众长老来,对他们说,你们要按着家口取出羊羔,把这逾越节的羊羔宰了。
Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.
【出12:22】 拿一把牛膝草,蘸盆里的血,打在门楣上和左右的门框上。你们谁也不可出自己的房门,直到早晨。
And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the basin; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
【出12:23】 因为耶和华要巡行击杀埃及人,他看见血在门楣上和左右的门框上,就必越过那门,不容灭命的进你们的房屋,击杀你们。
For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.
