New International Version
6 Take care of them until the fourteenth day of the month,(A) when all the members of the community of Israel must slaughter them at twilight.(B)
Exodus 12:14-20
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
14 This day will be a day of remembrance for you, which your future generations will celebrate with pilgrimage to the Lord; you will celebrate it as a statute forever. 15 For seven days you must eat unleavened bread. From the very first day you will have your houses clear of all leaven. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day to the seventh will be cut off[a] from Israel. 16 On the first day you will hold a sacred assembly, and likewise on the seventh. On these days no sort of work shall be done, except to prepare the food that everyone needs. 17 Keep, then, the custom of the unleavened bread,(A) since it was on this very day that I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. You must observe this day throughout your generations as a statute forever. 18 From the evening of the fourteenth day of the first month until the evening of the twenty-first day of this month you will eat unleavened bread. 19 For seven days no leaven may be found in your houses; for anyone, a resident alien or a native, who eats leavened food will be cut off from the community of Israel. 20 You shall eat nothing leavened; wherever you dwell you may eat only unleavened bread.

- 12:15 Cut off: a common Priestly term, not easily reduced to a simple English equivalent, since its usage appears to involve a number of associated punishments, some or all of which may come into play in any instance of the term’s use. These included the excommunication of the offender from the Israelite community, the premature death of the offender, the eventual eradication of the offender’s posterity, and finally the loss by the offender of all ancestral holdings.
Exodus 12:14-20
New International Version
14 “This is a day you are to commemorate;(A) for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord—a lasting ordinance.(B) 15 For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast.(C) On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off(D) from Israel. 16 On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the seventh day. Do no work(E) at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat; that is all you may do.
17 “Celebrate the Festival of Unleavened Bread,(F) because it was on this very day that I brought your divisions out of Egypt.(G) Celebrate this day as a lasting ordinance for the generations to come.(H) 18 In the first month(I) you are to eat bread made without yeast, from the evening of the fourteenth day until the evening of the twenty-first day. 19 For seven days no yeast is to be found in your houses. And anyone, whether foreigner(J) or native-born, who eats anything with yeast in it must be cut off(K) from the community of Israel. 20 Eat nothing made with yeast. Wherever you live,(L) you must eat unleavened bread.”(M)
