Institution of the Passover

Exodus 12

43 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the Passover: No foreigner shall eat of it; 44 But every man's servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then may he eat of it. 45 A foreigner or hired servant shall not eat of it. 46 In one house shall it be eaten [by one company]; you shall not carry any of the flesh outside the house; neither shall you break a bone of it. 47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 48 When a stranger sojourning with you wishes 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 one that is born in the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. 49 There shall be one law for the native-born and for the stranger or foreigner who sojourns among you.

50 Thus did all the Israelites; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 51 And on that very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.
