24 Vous observerez cela comme une loi pour vous et pour vos enfants à perpétuité.

25 Quand vous serez entrés dans le pays que l’Éternel vous donnera, selon sa promesse, vous observerez cet usage sacré.

26 Et lorsque vos enfants vous diront: Que signifie pour vous cet usage?

27 vous répondrez: C’est le sacrifice de Pâque en l’honneur de l’Éternel, qui a passé par-dessus les maisons des enfants d’Israël en Égypte, lorsqu’il frappa l’Égypte et qu’il sauva nos maisons. Le peuple s’inclina et se prosterna.

28 Et les enfants d’Israël s’en allèrent, et firent ce que l’Éternel avait ordonné à Moïse et à Aaron; ils firent ainsi.
