Exodus 12:43-48

Exodus 12:43-48 AMP

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover: no foreigner is to eat it; but every man’s slave who is bought with money, after you have circumcised him, then he may eat it. No stranger (temporary resident, foreigner) or hired servant shall eat it. It is to be eaten inside one house; you shall not take any of the meat outside the house, nor shall you break any of its bones. [John 19:33, 36] The entire congregation of Israel shall keep and celebrate it. If a stranger living temporarily among you wishes to celebrate the Passover to the LORD, all his males must be circumcised, and then he may participate and celebrate it like one that is born in the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat it.
