Exodus 13:2-15

2Hallow unto me every firstbornH1060, whatever breaketh open the wombH7358 among the children of IsraelH3478, of manH120 and of cattleH929: it is mine.

3And MosesH4872 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, RememberH2142 this dayH3117, in which ye cameH3318 out from EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondage; for with a powerful handH3027 hath Jehovah broughtH3318 you out from this; and nothing leavenedH2557 shall be eatenH398.

4Ye comeH3318 out to-day, in the monthH2320 AbibH24.

5And it shall beH1961 when Jehovah hath broughtH935 thee into the landH776 of the CanaaniteH3669 and the HittiteH2850 and the AmoriteH567 and the HiviteH2340 and the JebusiteH2983, which he sworeH7650 to thy fathersH1 to giveH5414 thee, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, that thou shalt keep this serviceH5656 in this monthH2320.

6SevenH7651 daysH3117 shalt thou eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682; and in the seventhH7637 dayH3117 is a feastH2282 to Jehovah.

7UnleavenedH4682 breadH4682 shall be eatenH398 the sevenH7651 daysH3117; and leavenedH2557 breadH4682 shall not be seenH7200 with thee, neither shall there be leavenH7603 seenH7200 with thee in all thy bordersH1366.

8And thou shalt inform thy sonH1121 in that dayH3117, sayingH559, It is because of what Jehovah did to me when I cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714.

9And it shall beH1961 for a signH226 to thee on thy handH3027, and for a memorialH2146 between thine eyesH5869, that the lawH8451 of Jehovah may beH1961 in thy mouthH6310; for with a powerful handH3027 hath Jehovah broughtH3318 thee out of EgyptH4714.

10And thou shalt keepH8104 this ordinance at its set time from year to year.

11And it shall beH1961 when Jehovah hath broughtH935 thee into the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, as he hath swornH7650 to thee and to thy fathersH1, and hath givenH5414 it thee,

12that thou shalt offer unto Jehovah all that breaketh open the wombH7358, and every firstling that cometh of cattleH929 which is thine: the malesH2145 [shall beH1961] Jehovah's.

13And every firstling of an ass shalt thou ransomH6299 with a lambH7716; and if thou do not ransomH6299 it, thou shalt breakH6202 its neckH6202; and every firstbornH1060 of a manH120 among thy sonsH1121 shalt thou ransomH6299.

14And it shall beH1961 when thy sonH1121 asketh thee in timeH4279 to come, sayingH559, What is this? that thou shalt sayH559 to him, With a powerful handH3027 Jehovah broughtH3318 us out from EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondage.

15And it came to pass, when PharaohH6547 stubbornly refused to let us goH7971, that Jehovah slewH2026 all the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, both the firstbornH1060 of menH120 and the firstbornH1060 of cattleH929: thereforeH3651 I sacrificeH2076 to Jehovah all that breaketh open the wombH7358 — being malesH2145; and every firstbornH1060 of my children I ransomH6299.
