Exodus 13

1And Jehovah spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2SanctifyH6942 unto me all the first-born, whatsoever openeth the wombH7358 among the children of IsraelH3478, both of manH120 and of beast: it is mine.

3And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, RememberH2142 this dayH3117, in which ye cameH3318 out from EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondage; for by strength of handH3027 Jehovah broughtH3318 you out from this place: there shall no leavenedH2557 bread be eatenH398. 4This dayH3117 ye goH3318 forthH3318 in the monthH2320 AbibH24. 5And it shall beH1961, when Jehovah shall bringH935 thee into the landH776 of the CanaaniteH3669, and the HittiteH2850, and the AmoriteH567, and the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983, which he sware unto thy fathersH1 to giveH5414 thee, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, that thou shalt keep this serviceH5656 in this monthH2320. 6SevenH7651 daysH3117 thou shalt eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, and in the seventhH7637 dayH3117 shall be a feastH2282 to Jehovah. 7UnleavenedH4682 breadH4682 shall be eatenH398 throughout the sevenH7651 daysH3117; and there shall no leavenedH2557 breadH4682 be seenH7200 with thee, neither shall there be leavenH7603 seenH7200 with thee, in all thy bordersH1366. 8And thou shalt tellH5046 thy sonH1121 in that dayH3117, sayingH559, It is because of that which Jehovah did for me when I cameH3318 forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714. 9And it shall beH1961 for a signH226 unto thee upon thy handH3027, and for a memorialH2146 between thine eyesH5869, that the lawH8451 of Jehovah may beH1961 in thy mouthH6310: for with a strongH2389 handH3027 hath Jehovah broughtH3318 thee out of EgyptH4714. 10Thou shalt therefore keepH8104 this ordinance in its season from year to year.

11And it shall beH1961, when Jehovah shall bringH935 thee into the landH776 of the CanaaniteH3669, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathersH1, and shall giveH5414 it thee, 12that thou shalt set apart unto Jehovah all that openeth the wombH7358, and every firstling which thou hast that cometh of a beast; the malesH2145 shall beH1961 Jehovah’s. 13And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeemH6299 with a lambH7716; and if thou wilt not redeemH6299 it, then thou shalt breakH6202 its neckH6202: and all the first-born of manH120 among thy sonsH1121 shalt thou redeemH6299. 14And it shall beH1961, when thy sonH1121 asketh thee in timeH4279 to come, sayingH559, What is this? that thou shalt sayH559 unto him, By strength of handH3027 Jehovah broughtH3318 us out from EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondage: 15and it came to pass, when PharaohH6547 would hardly let us goH7971, that Jehovah slewH2026 all the first-born in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, both the first-born of manH120, and the first-born of beast: thereforeH3651 I sacrificeH2076 to Jehovah all that openeth the wombH7358, being malesH2145; but all the first-born of my sonsH1121 I redeemH6299. 16And it shall beH1961 for a signH226 upon thy handH3027, and for frontlets between thine eyesH5869: for by strength of handH3027 Jehovah broughtH3318 us forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714.

17And it came to pass, when PharaohH6547 had let the peopleH5971 goH7971, that GodH430 ledH5148 them not by the wayH1870 of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, although that wasH1961 near; for GodH430 saidH559, LestH6435 peradventure the peopleH5971 repent when they seeH7200 warH4421, and they returnH7725 to EgyptH4714: 18but GodH430 led the peopleH5971 about, by the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057 by the Red SeaH3220: and the children of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 up armed out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 19And MosesH4872 tookH3947 the bonesH6106 of JosephH3130 with him: for he had straitly swornH7650 the children of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, GodH430 will surely visitH6485 you; and ye shall carry up my bonesH6106 awayH3947 hence with you. 20And they took their journey from SuccothH5523, and encampedH2583 in Etham, in the edge of the wildernessH4057. 21And Jehovah wentH1980 before them by dayH3119 in a pillarH5982 of cloudH6051, to leadH5148 them the wayH1870, and by nightH3915 in a pillarH5982 of fireH784, to giveH215 them lightH215; that they might goH1980 by dayH3119 and by nightH3915: 22the pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 by dayH3119, and the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, departedH4185 not from before the peopleH5971.
