1
And the LORD[H3068]spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559],
2Sanctify[H6942] unto me all the firstborn[H1060], whatsoever openeth[H6363] the womb[H7358] among the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], both of man[H120] and of beast[H929]: it is mine.
3
And Moses[H4872]said[H559] unto the people[H5971], Remember[H2142]this[H2088]day[H3117], in which ye came out[H3318] from Egypt[H4714], out[H3318] of the house[H1004] of bondage[H5650]; for by strength[H2392] of hand[H3027] the LORD[H3068] brought you out[H3318] from this[H2088] place: there shall no leavened bread[H2557] be eaten[H398].
4
This day[H3117] came ye out[H3318] in the month[H2320]Abib[H24].
5
And it shall be when the LORD[H3068] shall bring[H935] thee into the land[H776] of the Canaanites[H3669], and the Hittites[H2850], and the Amorites[H567], and the Hivites[H2340], and the Jebusites[H2983], which he sware[H7650] unto thy fathers[H1] to give[H5414] thee, a land[H776]flowing[H2100] with milk[H2461] and honey[H1706], that thou shalt keep[H5647] this service[H5656] in this month[H2320].
6Seven[H7651]days[H3117] thou shalt eat[H398] unleavened bread[H4682], and in the seventh[H7637]day[H3117] shall be a feast[H2282] to the LORD[H3068].
7
Unleavened bread[H4682] shall be eaten[H398]seven[H7651]days[H3117]; and there shall no leavened bread[H2557] be seen[H7200] with thee, neither shall there be leaven[H7603]seen[H7200] with thee in all thy quarters[H1366].
8
And thou shalt shew[H5046] thy son[H1121] in that[H2088]day[H3117], saying[H559], This is done because of[H5668]that[H2088] which the LORD[H3068]did[H6213] unto me when I came forth[H3318] out of[H5668]Egypt[H4714].
9
And it shall be for a sign[H226] unto thee upon thine hand[H3027], and for a memorial[H2146] between thine eyes[H5869], that the LORD[H3068]'S law[H8451] may be in thy mouth[H6310]: for with a strong[H2389]hand[H3027] hath the LORD[H3068] brought thee out[H3318] of Egypt[H4714].
10
Thou shalt therefore keep[H8104] this ordinance[H2708] in his season[H4150] from year[H3117] to year[H3117].
11
And it shall be when the LORD[H3068] shall bring[H935] thee into the land[H776] of the Canaanites[H3669], as he sware[H7650] unto thee and to thy fathers[H1], and shall give[H5414] it thee,
12
That thou shalt set apart[H5674] unto the LORD[H3068] all that openeth[H6363] the matrix[H7358], and every firstling[H6363] that cometh[H7698] of a beast[H929] which thou hast; the males[H2145] shall be the LORD[H3068]'S.
13
And every firstling[H6363] of an ass[H2543] thou shalt redeem[H6299] with a lamb[H7716]; and if thou wilt not redeem[H6299] it, then thou shalt break his neck[H6202]: and all the firstborn[H1060] of man[H120] among thy children[H1121] shalt thou redeem[H6299].
14
And it shall be when thy son[H1121]asketh[H7592] thee in time to come[H4279], saying[H559], What is this? that thou shalt say[H559] unto him, By strength[H2392] of hand[H3027] the LORD[H3068] brought us out[H3318] from Egypt[H4714], from the house[H1004] of bondage[H5650]:
15
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh[H6547] would hardly[H7185] let us go[H7971], that the LORD[H3068]slew[H2026] all the firstborn[H1060] in the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], both the firstborn[H1060] of man[H120], and the firstborn[H1060] of beast[H929]: therefore I sacrifice[H2076] to the LORD[H3068] all that openeth[H6363] the matrix[H7358], being males[H2145]; but all the firstborn[H1060] of my children[H1121] I redeem[H6299].
16
And it shall be for a token[H226] upon thine hand[H3027], and for frontlets[H2903] between thine eyes[H5869]: for by strength[H2392] of hand[H3027] the LORD[H3068] brought us forth[H3318] out of Egypt[H4714].
17
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh[H6547] had let the people[H5971]go[H7971], that God[H430]led[H5148] them not through the way[H1870] of the land[H776] of the Philistines[H6430], although[H3588] that was near[H7138]; for God[H430]said[H559], Lest peradventure the people[H5971]repent[H5162] when they see[H7200]war[H4421], and they return[H7725] to Egypt[H4714]:
18
But God[H430]led[H5437] the people[H5971]about[H5437], through the way[H1870] of the wilderness[H4057] of the Red[H5488]sea[H3220]: and the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] went up[H5927]harnessed[H2571] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714].
19
And Moses[H4872]took[H3947] the bones[H6106] of Joseph[H3130] with him: for he had straitly[H7650]sworn[H7650] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], saying[H559], God[H430] will surely[H6485]visit[H6485] you; and ye shall carry up[H5927] my bones[H6106]away[H5927] hence with you.
20
And they took their journey[H5265] from Succoth[H5523], and encamped[H2583] in Etham[H864], in the edge[H7097] of the wilderness[H4057].
21
And the LORD[H3068]went[H1980]before[H6440] them by day[H3119] in a pillar[H5982] of a cloud[H6051], to lead[H5148] them the way[H1870]; and by night[H3915] in a pillar[H5982] of fire[H784], to give them light[H215]; to go[H3212] by day[H3119] and night[H3915]:
22
He took not away[H4185] the pillar[H5982] of the cloud[H6051] by day[H3119], nor the pillar[H5982] of fire[H784] by night[H3915], from before[H6440] the people[H5971].
