⁴³ The Lord told Moses and Aaron, “Here are the ·rules [statutes; ordinances; requirements] for Passover: No foreigner is to eat the Passover. ⁴⁴ If someone buys a slave and circumcises him, the slave may eat the Passover. ⁴⁵ But neither ·a person who lives for a short time in your country [^Lalien; temporary resident] nor a hired worker may eat it.

⁴⁶ “The meal must be eaten inside a house; take none of the meat outside the house. Don’t break any of the bones. ⁴⁷ The whole ·community [congregation; assembly] of Israel ·must take part in this feast [^Lwill act thus]. ⁴⁸ A ·foreigner [sojourner; wanderer; resident alien] who ·lives [sojourns] with you may share in the Lord’s Passover if all the males in his house become circumcised. Then, since he will be like a ·citizen [native] of Israel, he may share in the meal. But a man who is not circumcised may not eat the Passover meal. ⁴⁹ The same ·rules [laws; instructions] apply to ·an Israelite born in the country [the native] or to a ·foreigner [sojourner, wanderer; resident alien] living there.”

⁵⁰ So all the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] did just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. ⁵¹ On that same day the Lord led the ·Israelites [^Lsons/^Tchildren of Israel] out of Egypt by their ·divisions [hosts; 12:17].
