For the LORD will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the LORD will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite [you].

Louis Segond 1910
Quand l'Eternel passera pour frapper l'Egypte, et verra le sang sur le linteau et sur les deux poteaux, l'Eternel passera par-dessus la porte, et il ne permettra pas au destructeur d'entrer dans vos maisons pour frapper.
