Exodus 12:43

AaronMoses

41 At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the LORD’s divisions went out of the land of Egypt.

42 Because the LORD kept a vigil that night to bring them out of the land of Egypt, this same night is to be a vigil to the LORD, to be observed by all the Israelites for the generations to come.

And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: No foreigner is to eat of it.

44 But any slave who has been purchased may eat of it, after you have circumcised him.

45 A temporary resident or hired hand shall not eat the Passover.
