The First Passover


Exodus 12:21-23

Moses called all the Israelite elders and said to them: "Select lambs, take them for your families and slaughter them for a Pesach offering. Dip a bunch of marjoram in the blood of the lamb and daub it on the lintel and doorposts. Don't anyone go out the door of his house till morning. For as God passes through to strike the Egyptians and sees the blood on your homes, God will not allow the Destroyer into your homes to strike you."
