Bo 1st Portion (Exo 10) said to Moshe, “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his יהוה 1heart and the heart of his servants, in order that I may show these signs of mine in his midst, 2 and that you may tell in the hearing of your son and your son’s son the mighty things I have done in Mitsrayim, and that you tell of my signs which I have done among them, and you shall know that I am יהוה.”

Bo 1st Portion (Exo 10)

3 So Moshe and Aharon came to Pharaoh and said to him, “So said יהוה Elohim of the Hebrews: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before me? Let my people go, and they will serve me. 4 For if you refuse to let them go, behold, tomorrow I am going to bring locusts into your borders.


5 And they shall cover the surface of the land, and no one will be able to see the land. And they shall eat the surviving remnant, which remains for you from the hail, and they shall eat all your trees that grow out of the field.

Bo 1st Portion (Exo 10)6 And your houses and the houses of all your servants and the houses of all the Mitsrites will be filled, which your fathers and your fathers’ fathers did not see since the day they were on the earth until this day.’ ” Therewith, he turned and left Pharaoh.7 Pharaoh’s servants said to him, “How long will this one be a stumbling block to us? Let the people go and they will serve their Elohim. Don't you yet know that Mitsrayim is destroyed?”

Bo 1st Portion (Exo 10)8 Thereupon, Moshe and Aharon were brought back to Pharaoh, and he said to them, "Go, serve יהוה your Elohim. Who and who are going?”9 Moshe said, “With our youth and with our elders we will go, with our sons and with our daughters, with our flocks and with our cattle we will go, for it is a festival of the יהוה to us.”


10 So he Pharaoh said to them, “So may יהוה be with you, just as I will let you and your little ones out! See that evil is before your faces. 11 Not so; let the men go now and serve יהוה, for that is what you request." And he chased them out from before Pharaoh.

Bo 2nd Portion (Exo 10)

said to Moshe, “Stretch forth your hand over the land of יהוה 12Mitsrayim for the locusts, and they will swarm over the land of Mitsrayim, and they will eat all the vegetation of the land, all that the hail has left over.”

Bo 2nd Portion (Exo 10)13 So Moshe stretched forth his rod over the land of Mitsrayim, and יהוה brought an east wind in the land all that day and all the night. By the time it was morning, the east wind had brought the locusts. 14 The locusts went up over all the land of Mitsrayim and settled within all the territory of Mitsrayim, very grievous. There had never been so many locusts, nor would there be so many again.

Bo 2nd Portion (Exo 10)15 They covered the surface of all the land, so that the land was darkened. And they ate every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees which the hail had left. Thus nothing green was left on tree or plant of the field through all the land of Mitsrayim.16 Pharaoh hastened to summon Moshe and Aharon, and he said, “I have sinned against יהוה your Elohim and against you.

Bo 2nd Portion (Exo 10)17 But now, forgive now my sin only this time and entreat יהוה your Elohim, and let him remove from me just this death.”18 So he Moshe left Pharaoh and prayed. 19 And יהוה changed the wind to a very strong west wind, which took up the locusts and blew them into the Sea of Suf. Not one locust was left within all the territory of Mitsrayim. 20 But יהוה hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Isra’el go out.

Bo 2nd Portion (Exo 10) said to Moshe, “Stretch forth your hand toward the יהוה 21heavens, and there will be darkness over the land of Mitsrayim, and the darkness will become darker.” 22 So Moshe stretched forth his hand toward the heavens, and there was thick darkness over the entire land of Mitsrayim for three days. 23 They did not see each other, and no one rose from his place for three days, but for all the children of Isra’el there was light in their dwellings.

Bo 3rd Portion (Exo 10)24 Pharaoh summoned Moshe and said, “Go, serve יהוה, but your flocks and your cattle shall be left. Your little ones may also go with you.”25 But Moshe said, “You too must give slaughterings and burnt offerings into our hands, and we will make them for יהוה our Elohim.

Bo 3rd Portion (Exo 10)26 And also our livestock must go with us; not a single hoof will remain, for we will take from it to serve יהוה our Elohim, and we do not know how much we will serve יהוה until we come there.” hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he was unwilling to let יהוה 27them out. 28 Pharaoh said to him, “Get away from me! Beware! You shall no longer see my face, for on the day that you see my face, you will die.”

Bo 3rd Portion (Exo 10-11)29 Thereupon, Moshe said, “You have spoken rightly; I will no longer see your face.” said to Moshe, “I will bring one more plague upon יהוה 1Pharaoh and upon Mitsrayim; afterwards he will let you go from here. When he lets you out, he shall completely drive you out of here.

Bo 3rd Portion (Exo 11)2 Please, speak into the ears of the people, and let them borrow, each man from his neighbour and each woman from her neighbour, silver objects and golden objects.” 3 (So יהוה gave the people favour in the eyes of the Mitsrites; also the man Moshe himself was highly regarded in in the land of Mitsrayim, both in the eyes of Pharaoh’s servants and in the eyes of the people.

Bo 4th Portion (Exo 11)4 Moshe said, “So said יהוה: ‘At the dividing point of the night, I will go out into the midst of Mitsrayim, 5 and every first-born in the land of Mitsrayim shall die, from the first-born of Pharaoh, who sits on his throne, to the first-born of the female servant who is behind the millstones, and every first-born animal. 6 And there shall be a great cry throughout the entire land of Mitsrayim, such as there never has been and such as there shall never be again.

Bo 4th Portion (Exo 11)7 But to all the children of Isra’el not one dog shall not even move its tongue against either man or beast, in order that you shall know how יהוה makes a distinction between Mitsrayim and Isra’el. 8 And all these servants of yours shall come down to me and prostrate themselves to me, saying, ‘Get out, you and all the people who are at your feet!’ And afterwards I shall go out.” Then he Moshe exited from Pharaoh with burning anger.

Bo 4th Portion (Exo 11)

said to Moshe, “Pharaoh will not heed you, in order to יהוה 9multiply my wonders in the land of Mitsrayim.” 10 Moshe and Aharon had performed all these wonders before Pharaoh, but hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of יהוהIsra’el out of his land.

Bo 4th Portion (Exo 12) ,spoke to Moshe and to Aharon in the land of Mitsrayim יהוה 1saying, 2 “This month shall be to you the head of the months; to you it shall be the first of the months of the year. 3 Speak to the entire congregation of Isra’el, saying, ‘On the tenth of this month, let each one take a lamb for each parental house, a lamb for each household.

Bo 4th Portion (Exo 12)4 But if the household is too small for the lamb, then he and his neighbour who is nearest to his house shall take one according to the number of the beings, each one according to one’s need to eat, shall you be counted for the lamb. 5 You shall have a perfect male lamb in its first year; you may take it either from the sheep or from the goats.

Bo 4th Portion (Exo 12)6 And you shall keep it for inspection until the fourteenth day of this month, and the entire assembly of the congregation of Isra’el shall kill it in the afternoon. 7 And they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel, on the houses in which they will eat it. 8 And on this night, they shall eat the flesh, roasted over the fire, and matzah; with maror they shall eat it.

Bo 4th Portion (Exo 12)9 You shall not eat it raw or boiled in water, except roasted over the fire its head with its legs and with its innards. 10 And you shall not leave over any of it until morning, and whatever is left over of it until morning, you must burn in fire. 11 And this is how you shall eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste; it is the Pesach [Passover] to יהוה.

Bo 4th Portion (Exo 12)12 “I shall pass through the land of Mitsrayim on this night, and I shall smite every first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both man and beast. I am יהוה, and upon all the gods of Mitsrayim shall I execute judgments. 13 And the blood shall be for you for a sign upon the houses where you will be, and I will see the blood and pass over [Hebrew: pasach] you, and there will be no plague to destroy you when I smite the people of the land of Mitsrayim.

Bo 4th Portion (Exo 12)14 “And this day shall be for you as a remembrance, and you shall observe it as a festival for יהוה throughout your generations, you shall celebrate it as an everlasting ordinance. 15 For seven days you shall eat matzah, but on the preceding day you shall clear away all leaven from your houses, for whoever eats hametz [leavened bread] from the first day until the seventh day that being shall be cut off from Israel.


16 And on the first day there shall be a set-apart gathering, and on the seventh day you shall have a set-apart gathering. No work may be done on them, but what is eaten by any being that alone may be performed for you.

Bo 4th Portion (Exo 12)17 And you shall guard the Festival of Matzah, for on this very day I brought your divisions out of the land of Mitsrayim. And you shall guard this day throughout your generations, as an everlasting ordinance. 18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month in the evening, you shall eat matzah, until the twenty-first day of the month in the evening.


19 For seven days, leavening shall not be found in your houses, for whoever eats hametz that being shall be cut off from the congregation of Isra’el, both among the strangers and the native-born of the land. 20 You shall not eat any hametz; throughout all your dwellings you shall eat matzah.”

Bo 5th Portion (Exo 12)21 Moshe summoned all the elders of Isra’el and said to them, “Draw forth or buy for yourselves sheep for your clans and slaughter the Pesach lamb. 22 And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and you shall extend to the lintel and to the two doorposts the blood that is in the basin, and you shall not go out, any man from the door of his house until morning.

Bo 5th Portion (Exo 12) shall pass to smite the Mitsrites, and he shall see the יהוה 23blood on the lintel and on the two doorposts, and יהוה shall pass over the door, and he will not allow the destroyer to enter your houses to smite you.24 “And you shall guard this word as a law for you and for your sons forever.


25 And it shall come to pass when you enter the land that יהוה will give you, as he promised, that you shall guard this service. 26 And it shall come to pass if your children say to you, ‘What is this service to you?’

Bo 5th Portion (Exo 12)27 you shall say, ‘It is the Pesach [Passover] to יהוה, for he passed over the houses of the children of Isra’el in Mitsrayim when he smote the Mitsrites and delivered our households.’ ” And the people kneeled and prostrated themselves. 28 So the children of Isra’el went and did; as יהוה commanded Moshe and Aharon, so they did.

Bo 6th Portion (Exo 12)29 It came to pass at midnight, and יהוה smote all the first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, from the first-born of Pharaoh who sat on his throne, to the firstborn of the captive, who was in the dungeon, and all first-born animal. 30 Pharaoh arose in the night, he and all his servants and all the Mitsrites, and there was a great wailing in Mitsrayim, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.

Bo 6th Portion (Exo 12)31 So he called for Moshe and Aharon at night, and said, “Get up! And go out from among my people, both you and the children of Isra’el! And go, serve יהוה as you have said. 32 Take your flocks and also your herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.”33 The Mitsrites urged the people to hasten to send them out of the land, for they said, “We shall all be dead!”

Bo 6th Portion (Exo 12)34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading bowls wrapped in the clothing on their shoulders. 35 And the children of Isra’el did according to the word of Moshe and they asked from the Mitsrites objects of silver and objects of gold and clothing. 36 יהוה had given the people favour in the eyes of the Mitsrites, and they gave them such things as they required. And they plundered the Mitsrites.


37 The children of Isra’el journeyed from Ra‘amses to Sukkot, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, besides the little ones. 38 And also, a mixed multitude went up with them, and flocks and cattle, even very much livestock.

Bo 6th Portion (Exo 12)39 They baked the dough that they had brought out of Mitsrayim as matzah cakes, for it had not leavened, for they were driven out of Mitsrayim, and they could not tarry, and also, they had not made provisions for themselves.40 And the sojourn of the children of Isra’el, that they lived in Mitsrayim, was four hundred and thirty years.

Bo 6th Portion (Exo 12)41 It came to pass at the end of four hundred and thirty years, and it came to pass in that very day, that all the divisions of יהוה went out of the land of Mitsrayim. 42 It is a night of anticipation for יהוה, to bring them out of the land of Mitsrayim; this night is s, guarding all the children of Isra’el throughout their’יהוהgenerations.

Bo 6th Portion (Exo 12) said to Moshe and Aharon, “This is the law of the יהוה 43Pesach meal:“No estranged one may eat of it. 44 And every man’s servant bought for his silver you shall circumcise him; then he will be permitted to eat of it. 45 A sojourner and a hired servant may not eat of it.

Bo 6th Portion (Exo 12)46 “It must be eaten in one house; you shall not take any of the flesh out of the house to the outside, neither shall you break any of its bones. 47 The entire congregation of Isra’el must perform it.48 “And should a stranger reside with you, he shall perform the Pesach sacrifice to יהוה. All his males shall be circumcised, and then he may approach to perform it, and he shall be like the native of the land. But no uncircumcised male may eat of it.

Bo 6th Portion (Exo 12)49 There shall be one Torah for the native-born and for the stranger who sojourns in your midst.”50 All the children of Isra’el did as יהוה had commanded Moshe and Aharon, so they did. 51 It came to pass on that very day, that brought the children of Isra’el out of the land of Mitsrayim יהוהwith their divisions.

Bo 7th Portion (Exo 13)-spoke to Moshe, saying, 2 “Consecrate to me every first יהוה 1born, the first offspring of every womb among the children of Isra’el both of man and beast; it is mine.”3 Moshe said to the people, “Remember this day, when you went out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery, for with a mighty hand, יהוה brought you out from this place. And no hametz shall be eaten. 4 Today, in the month of Aviv, you are going out.

Bo 7th Portion (Exo 13)5 And it shall come to pass when יהוה brings you into the land of the Kena’ani, the Hitti, the Emori, the Hivi and the Y’vusi—which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—and you shall keep this service in this month: 6 For seven days you shall eat matzah and on the seventh day, there shall be a festival to יהוה.


7 Matzah shall be eaten during the seven days; and no hametz shall be seen among you, nor shall any yeast be seen among you throughout all of your borders. 8 And you shall inform your son on that day, saying, ‘This is done because of that which יהוה did for me when I came out of Mitsrayim.’


9 And it shall be for a sign to you on your hand and as a reminder on your forehead that the Torah of יהוה shall be in your mouth. For with a strong hand יהוה brought you out of Mitsrayim. 10 You shall therefore guard this law at its appointed time, from year to year.


11 “And it shall come to pass when יהוה brings you into the land of the Kena’ani, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you, 12 you shall pass over to יהוה the first offspring of every womb, and every first-born that opens the womb of an animal which will be yours. The males shall be יהוה’s.

Bo 7th Portion-Maftir (Exo 13)13 And every first-born donkey you shall ransom with a lamb, but if you do not ransom it, you shall break its neck. And every first-born of man among your sons, you shall ransom.14 “And it shall come to pass if your son asks you in the future, saying, ‘What is this?’ you shall say to him, ‘With a mighty hand did יהוה take us out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage.

Bo Maftir (Exo 13)15 And it came to pass when Pharaoh was too stubborn to let us out, יהוה killed every first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both the first-born of man and the first-born of beast. Therefore, I slaughter for a sacrifice all males that open the womb, and every first-born of my sons I will ransom.’ 16 And it shall be for a sign upon your hand and for frontlets between your eyes, for with a mighty hand did יהוה take us out of Mitsrayim.”
