Passover Restrictions

Then Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, "These are the rules concerning the observance of the Passover. No foreigners shall eat the lamb, but any slave who has been purchased may eat it if he has been circumcised. A hired servant or a visiting foreigner may not eat of it. You shall, all of you who eat each lamb, eat it together in one house, and not carry it outside; and you shall not break any of its bones. All the congregation of Israel shall observe this memorial at the same time.

"As to foreigners, if they are living with you and want to observe the Passover with you, let all the males be circumcised, and then they may come and celebrate with you--then they shall be just as though they had been born among you; but no uncircumcised person shall ever eat of the lamb. The same law applies to those born in Israel and to foreigners living among you."

So the people of Israel followed all of Jehovah's instructions to Moses and Aaron. That very day the Lord brought out the people of Israel from the land of Egypt, wave after wave of them crossing the border.
