Exodus 12:22-24
1599 Geneva Bible
22 And take (A)a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the [a]lintel, and the [b]door cheeks with the blood that is in the basin, and let none of you go out at the door of the house, until the morning.
23 For the Lord will pass by to smite the Egyptians: and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel and on the two door cheeks, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the [c]destroyer to come into your houses to plague you.
24 Therefore shall ye observe this thing as an ordinance, both for thee and thy sons forever.
