In the month of Nisan 1513 B.C.E., Jehovah told Moses and Aaron to convey these unusual instructions to the Israelites: Select a healthy male sheep or goat, slaughter it, and splash its blood on your doorways. How did Moses respond?
فَلَا دَاعِيَ أَنْ ‹ تَخَافَ مِنْ إِنْسَانٍ فَانٍ يَمُوتُ ،‏ وَمِنِ ٱبْنِ بَشَرٍ يَصِيرُ كَٱلْعُشْبِ ٱلْأَخْضَرِ › .‏ —‏ اش ٥١ :‏ ​ ١٢ ،‏ ١٣‏ .‏
