Exodus 12:26-28

Easy-to-Read Version

²⁶ When your children ask you, ‘Why are we doing this ceremony?’ ²⁷ you will say, ‘This Passover is to honor the Lord, because when we were in Egypt, he passed over the houses of Israel. He killed the Egyptians, but he saved the people in our houses.’”

Then the people bowed down and worshiped the Lord. ²⁸ The Lord had given this command to Moses and Aaron, so the Israelites did what the Lord commanded.
