13The LORD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H5592"Consecrate to me all the firstborn. Whatever is the first to open the womb among the people of Israel, both of man and of beast, is mine."H6942H1060H6363H7358H1121H3478H120H9293Then Moses said to the people, "Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, for by a strong hand the LORD brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.H4872H559H5971H2142H2088H3117H3318H4714H1004H5650H2392H3027H3068H3318H2557H3984Today, in the month of Abib, you are going out.H3117H3318H2320H245And when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, you shall keep this service in this month.H3068H935H776H3669H2850H567H2340H2983H7650H1H5414H776H2100H2461H1706H5647H5656H23206Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the LORD.H7651H3117H398H4682H7637H3117H2282H30687Unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days; no leavened bread shall be seen with you, and no leaven shall be seen with you in all your territory.H4682H398H7651H3117H2557H7200H7603H7200H13668You shall tell your son on that day, 'It is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.'H5046H1121H3117H559H5668H2088H3068H6213H3318H47149And it shall be to you as a sign on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that the law of the LORD may be in your mouth. For with a strong hand the LORD has brought you out of Egypt.H226H3027H2146H5869H3068H8451H6310H2389H3027H3068H3318H471410You shall therefore keep this statute at its appointed time from year to year.H8104H2708H4150H3117H311711"When the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as he swore to you and your fathers, and shall give it to you,H3068H935H776H3669H7650H1H541412you shall set apart to the LORD all that first opens the womb. All the firstborn of your animals that are males shall be the LORD's.H5674H3068H6363H7358H6363H7698H929H2145H306813Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. Every firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem.H6363H2543H6299H7716H6299H6202H1060H120H1121H629914And when in time to come your son asks you, 'What does this mean?' you shall say to him, 'By a strong hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, from the house of slavery.H1121H7592H4279H559H559H2392H3027H3068H3318H4714H1004H565015For when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of animals. Therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all the males that first open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.'H6547H7185H7971H3068H2026H1060H776H4714H1060H120H1060H929H2076H3068H6363H7358H2145H1060H1121H629916It shall be as a mark on your hand or frontlets between your eyes, for by a strong hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt."H226H3027H2903H5869H2392H3027H3068H3318H471417When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near. For God said, "Lest the people change their minds when they see war and return to Egypt."H6547H5971H7971H430H5148H1870H776H6430H3588H7138H430H559H5971H5162H7200H4421H7725H471418But God led the people around by the way of the wilderness toward the Red Sea. And the people of Israel went up out of the land of Egypt equipped for battle.H430H5437H5971H5437H1870H4057H5488H3220H1121H3478H5927H2571H776H471419Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear, saying, "God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones with you from here."H4872H3947H6106H3130H7650H7650H1121H3478H559H430H6485H6485H5927H6106H592720And they moved on from Succoth and encamped at Etham, on the edge of the wilderness.H5265H5523H2583H864H7097H405721And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead them along the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, that they might travel by day and by night.H3068H1980H6440H3119H5982H6051H5148H1870H3915H5982H784H215H3212H3119H391522The pillar of cloud by day and the pillar of fire by night did not depart from before the people.H4185H5982H6051H3119H5982H784H3915H6440H5971
