Exodus 12:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ And when your children shall say to you: What is the meaning of this service?

²⁷ You shall say to them: It is the victim of the passage of the Lord, when he passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, striking the Egyptians, and saving our houses. And the people bowing themselves, adored.

²⁸ And the children of Israel going forth did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.
