Exo. 13

1Sanctify to Me all the
afirstborn: Whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast, it is Mine.
Exo. 13
:3
13:3
And Moses said to the people,
aRemember this day on which you came out from Egypt, from the
bslave house, for by
1cstrength of hand Jehovah
dbrought you out from this place; and nothing
eleavened shall be eaten.
Exo. 13
:4
13:4
On this day in the month of
1aAbib you are going out.
Exo. 13
:5
13:5
And when Jehovah brings you into the land of the
aCanaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, which He
bswore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with
cmilk and honey, you shall observe this
dservice in this month:
Exo. 13
:6
13:6
Seven days you shall eat
aunleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to Jehovah.
Exo. 13
:7
13:7
Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days, and nothing leavened shall be seen with you, nor shall any leaven be seen with you in all your territory.
Exo. 13
:8
13:8
And you shall tell your
ason in that day, saying, It is because of what Jehovah did for me when I came out of Egypt.
Exo. 13
:9
13:9
And it shall be for a
asign to you upon your hand and for a
1memorial between your eyes, that the
2law of Jehovah may be in your mouth; for with a mighty hand Jehovah brought you out of Egypt.
Exo. 13
:10
13:10
You shall therefore
akeep this statute at its appointed time from year to year.
Exo. 13
:11
13:11
And when Jehovah brings you into the land of the Canaanites, as He swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you,
Exo. 13
:12
13:12
You shall set apart to Jehovah everything that
aopens the womb and the first offspring of every beast which is yours; the males shall be Jehovah’s.
Exo. 13
:13
13:13
And every
1first offspring of a donkey you shall redeem with a
alamb; and if you do not redeem
it, you shall break its neck. And every
1firstborn male among your sons you shall
bredeem.
Exo. 13
:14
13:14
And when your
ason asks you in time to come, saying, What is this? you shall say to him, By strength of hand Jehovah
bbrought us out from Egypt, from the
cslave house.
Exo. 13
:15
13:15
And when Pharaoh
ahardened himself
bagainst letting us go, Jehovah
cslew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore I am one who sacrifices to Jehovah every male that opens the womb; and all the
dfirstborn of my sons I redeem.
Exo. 13
:16
13:16
So it will be as a
asign upon your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand Jehovah
bbrought us out of Egypt.
Exo. 13
:17
13:17

1lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Perhaps the people will change their minds when they see war and will
areturn to Egypt.
Exo. 13
:18
13:18

1aaround by the way of the wilderness to the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up arrayed for battle out of the land of Egypt.
Exo. 13

Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night departed from before the people.
