13 Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.

48 “An alien living among you who wants to celebrate the LORD’s Passover must have all the males in his household circumcised; then he may take part like one born in the land. No uncircumcised male may eat of it. If this were the requirement for membership in the Church, we would have very fewContinue reading “27Feb2009 Exodus 12:48”

43 The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “These are the regulations for the Passover: “No foreigner is to eat of it.” The Lord is exclusive and proud of it.
