你們的兒女問你們說:『行這禮是甚麼意思?』 你們就說:『這是獻給耶和華逾越節的祭。當以色列人在埃及的時候,他擊殺埃及人,越過以色列人的房屋,救了我們各家。』」於是百姓低頭下拜。( 出埃及記 12:26-27 和合本 )
And when your children say to you, ‘ What does this rite mean to you?’ then you shall say, ‘It is a Passover sacrifice to the LORD because He passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians, but spared our homes.’ ” And the people bowed low and worshiped.( Exodus 12:26-27 NASB )
