Pesach (Passover)

「Let heavier work be laid upon those involved; let them keep at it and not pay attention to deceitful promises.”」

「And GOD did so the next day: all the livestock of the Egyptians died, but of the livestock of the Israelites not one died.」

「And the Egyptians shall know that I am GOD, when I stretch out My hand over Egypt and bring out the Israelites from their midst.”」

「You shall keep watch over it until the fourteenth day of this month; and all the assembled congregation of the Israelites shall slaughter it at twilight.」

「With Me, therefore, you shall not make any gods of silver, nor shall you make for yourselves any gods of gold.」

「but not a dog shall snarl at any of the Israelites, at human or animal—in order that you may know that GOD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.」
