Exodus 13
- 1And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
- 2Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
- 3And Moses said to the people, Remember this day, in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage. For by strength of hand the Lord brought you out from this place: there shall no bread made with yeast be eaten.
- 4This day came you out in the month Abib.
- 5And it shall be when the Lord shall bring you into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.
- 6Seven days you shall eat bread made without yeast, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord.
- 7Bread made without yeast shall be eaten seven days. There shall no bread made with yeast be seen with you, neither shall there be yeast seen with you in all your quarters.
- 8And you shall show your son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the Lord did to me when I came out of Egypt.
- 9And it shall be for a sign to you on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that the Lord's law may be in your mouth. For with a strong hand has the Lord brought you out of Egypt.
- 10You shall therefore keep this rule in his season from year to year.
- 11And it shall be when the Lord shall bring you into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and shall give it to you,
- 12That you shall set apart to the Lord all that opens the womb, and every firstborn that comes of a beast which you have. The males shall be the Lord's.
- 13And every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb. If you will not redeem it, then you shall break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among your children shall you redeem.
- 14And it shall be when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What is this? That you shall say to him, By strength of hand the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
- 15When Pharaoh would hardly let us go, the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all that opens the womb, being males, but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
- 16And it shall be for a token on your hand, and for headbands between your eyes. For by strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt.
- 17When Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near. For God said, Or else perhaps the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:
- 18But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
- 19And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him. For he had strictly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you. You shall carry up my bones away from here with you.
- 20And they took their journey from Succoth, and camped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
- 21And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way. By night in a pillar of fire, to give them light. To go by day and night:
- 22He did not take away the pillar of the cloud by day, or the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
