Institution of the Passover

Exodus 12

43 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the statute of the Passover: no foreigner shall eat of it, 44 but every slave that is f bought for money may eat of it after you have circumcised him. 45 g No foreigner or hired servant may eat of it. 46 It shall be eaten in one house; you shall not take any of the flesh outside the house, and h you shall not break any of its bones. 47 i All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 48 j If a stranger shall sojourn with you and would keep the Passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised. Then he may come near and keep it; he k shall be as a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. 49 There shall be l one law for the native and for the j stranger who sojourns among you."

50 All the people of Israel did just as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron. 51 And on that very day the m Lord brought the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their n hosts.
