“I have also heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are holding as slaves, and I have remembered my covenant. … I will free you from the burdens of the Egyptians and deliver you from slavery to them. … I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob…
The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live: when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.”
Marc Chagall, born in Belarus, French Jewish artist (1887 - 1985), The Israelites are eating the Passover Lamb, 1931, gouache and oil on paper.
