24And ye shall obserue this thing for an ordinance to thee, and to thy sonnes for euer. 25And it shall come to passe when yee bee come to the land, which the Lord will giue you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keepe this seruice. 26And it shall come to passe, when your children shall say vnto you, What meane you by this seruice? 27That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lords Passeouer, who passed ouer the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and deliuered our houses. And the people bowed the head, and worshipped. 28And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
