Chapter overview (whole chapter)
In Exodus 12 the Israelites are instructed to take a lamb, slaughter it, and smear its blood on the doorposts of their homes. God then passes over the houses marked with blood, sparing the people while destroying the surrounding nations. This act establishes the Passover as a sign of God's protection and a covenant promise.
