Exodus 12:26-28

New International Reader's Version

²⁶ Your children will ask you, ‘What does this holy day mean to you?’ ²⁷ Tell them, ‘It’s the Passover sacrifice to honor the Lord. He passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt. He spared our homes when he struck down the Egyptians.’ ” Then the Israelites bowed down and worshiped. ²⁸ They did just what the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron.
