Exodus 12:26-28

Expanded Bible

²⁶ When your ·children [sons] ask you, ‘·Why are we doing these things [^LWhat does this ritual mean]?’ ²⁷ you will say, ‘This is the Passover sacrifice to honor the Lord. When we were in Egypt, the Lord passed over the houses of ·Israel [^Lthe sons/^Tchildren of Israel], and when he ·killed [struck down; plagued] the Egyptians, he ·saved [rescued; delivered] our homes.’” Then the people bowed down and worshiped the Lord. ²⁸ They did just as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron.
