Exodus 13:12-16

12you are to presentH5674 to the LORDH3068 the firstborn maleH6363 of everyH3605 wombH7358. AllH3605 the firstbornH6363H7698 malesH2145 of yourH1961 livestockH929 belong to the LORDH3068. 13You must redeemH6299 everyH3605 firstbornH6363 donkeyH2543 with a lambH7716, and ifH518 you do notH3808 redeem itH6299, you are to break its neckH6202. And everyH3605 firstbornH1060H120 of your sonsH1121 you must redeemH6299.

14

In the futureH4279, whenH3588 your sonH1121 asks youH7592, ‘WhatH4100 does thisH2063 meanH559?’ you are to tellH559 himH413, ‘With a mightyH2392 handH3027 the LORDH3068 brought us outH3318 of EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of slaveryH5650. 15AndH1961 whenH3588 PharaohH6547 stubbornly refusedH7185 to let us goH7971, the LORDH3068 killedH2026 everyH3605 firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, bothH1060 of manH120 andH5704 beastH929. This is whyH5921H3651 IH589 sacrificeH2076 to the LORDH3068 the firstbornH6363 maleH2145 of everyH3605 wombH7358, but I redeemH6299 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 of my sonsH1121.’ 16So it shall serve asH1961 a signH226 onH5921 your handH3027 and a symbolH2903 on your foreheadH996H5869, forH3588 with a mightyH2392 handH3027 the LORDH3068 brought us outH3318 of EgyptH4714.”
