Passover Restrictions

⁴³ The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “These are the regulations for the Passover meal:^(A)

“No foreigner^(B) may eat it. ⁴⁴ Any slave you have bought may eat it after you have circumcised^(C) him, ⁴⁵ but a temporary resident or a hired worker^(D) may not eat it.

⁴⁶ “It must be eaten inside the house; take none of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones.^{(E) 47} The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.

⁴⁸ “A foreigner residing among you who wants to celebrate the Lord’s Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised; then he may take part like one born in the land.^(F) No uncircumcised^(G) male may eat it. ⁴⁹ The same law applies both to the native-born and to the foreigner^(H) residing among you.”

⁵⁰ All the Israelites did just what the Lord had commanded^(I) Moses and Aaron. ⁵¹ And on that very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of Egypt^(J) by their divisions.^(K)

Consecration of the Firstborn

13 The Lord said to Moses, ² “Consecrate to me every firstborn male.^(L) The first offspring of every womb among the Israelites belongs to me, whether human or animal.”
