Exodus 12:43-49
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Passover Instruction
43 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: no foreigner may eat it. 44 But any slave a man has purchased may eat it, after you have circumcised him. 45 A temporary resident or hired hand may not eat the Passover.(A) 46 It is to be eaten in one house. You may not take any of the meat outside the house, and you may not break any of its bones.(B) 47 The whole community of Israel must celebrate[a] it. 48 If a foreigner resides with you and wants to celebrate the Lord’s Passover, every male in his household must be circumcised, and then he may participate;[b] he will become like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat it. 49 The same law will apply to both the native and the foreigner(C) who resides among you.”
