Exodus 12:21-23 The First Passover

וַיִּקְרָא מֹשֶׂה לְכָל־זִקְנֵי יִשְׁרָאֵל וַיֹּאמֶר אֲלֵהֶם מִשְׂכוּ וּקְחוּ לָכֶם צֹאן לְמִשְׂפְּחֹתֵיכֶם וְשַׂחֲטוּ הַפָּסַח וּלְקַחְתֶּם אֲגֻדַּת אֵזוֹב וּטְבַלְתֶּם בַּדָּם אֲשֶׂר־בַּסַּף וְהִגַּעְתֶּם אֶל־הַמַּשְׂקוֹף וְאֶל־שְׂתֵּי הַמְּזוּזֹת מִן־הַדָּם אֲשֶׂר בַּסָּף וְאַתֶּם לֹא תֵצְאוּ אִישׂ מִפֶּתַח־בֵּיתוֹ עַד־בֹּקֶר וְעָבַר יְהוָה לִנְגֹּף אֶת־מִצְרַיִם וְרָאָה אֶת־הַדָּם עַל־הַמַּשְׂקוֹף וְעַל שְׂתֵּי הַמְּזוּזֹת וּפָסַח יְהוָה עַל־הַפֶּתַח וְלֹא יִתֵּן הַמַּשְׂחִית לָבֹא אֶל־בָּתֵּיכֶם לִנְגֹּף

Moses called all the Israelite elders and said to them: “Select lambs, take them for your families and slaughter them for a Pesach offering. Dip a bunch of marjoram in the blood of the lamb and daub it on the lintel and doorposts. Don’t anyone go out the door of his house till morning. For as God passes through to strike the Egyptians and sees the blood on your homes, God will not allow the Destroyer into your homes to strike you.”
