Exodus 12:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² And dip a bunch of hyssop in the blood that is at the door, and sprinkle the transom of the door therewith, and both the door cheeks: let none of you go out of the door of his house till morning.

²³ For the Lord will pass through striking the Egyptians: and when he shall see the blood on the transom, and on both the posts, he will pass over the door of the house, and not suffer the destroyer to come into your houses and to hurt you.

²⁴ Thou shalt keep this thing as a law for thee and thy children for ever.
