Exodus 12:22
The Scripture
(22) And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.
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.
