Shemot 12:26-28

Orthodox Jewish Bible

²⁶ And it shall come to pass, when your banim shall say unto you, Mah haavodah hazot lachem (What is this avodah to you)?

²⁷ That ye shall say, It is the zevach of Hashem’s Pesach, who pasach (passed over, skipped, spared) the batim (households) of the Bnei Yisroel in Mitzrayim, when He struck down the Egyptians, and spared bateinu (our houses). And the people bowed down and worshiped.

²⁸ And the Bnei Yisroel went away, and did as Hashem had commanded Moshe and Aharon, so did they.
