11“Now whenH3588 1the LordH3068 bringsH935 you to the landH776 of the CanaaniteH3669, as 2He sworeH7650 to you and to your fathersH1, and givesH5414 it to you, 123you shall 4devoteH5674 to the LordH3068 the firstH6363 5offspringH6363 of everyH3605 wombH7358, and 6the firstH6363 offspringH6363 of everyH3605 beastH929 that you ownH1961; the malesH2145 belong to the LordH3068. 13But 7everyH3605 firstH6363 8offspringH6363 of a donkeyH2543 you shall redeemH6299 with a lambH7716, but ifH518 you do not redeemH6299 it, then you shall breakH6202 its neckH6202; and 9everyH3605 firstbornH1060 of manH120 among your sonsH1121 you shall redeemH6299. 1410And it shall be whenH3588 your sonH1121 asksH7592 you in timeH4279 to comeH4279, sayingH559, ‘WhatH4100 is thisH2088?’ then you shall sayH559 to him, ‘11With a 12powerfulH2392 handH3027 the LordH3068 broughtH3318 us out of EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of 13slaveryH5650. 15It cameH1961 about, whenH3588 PharaohH6547 was stubbornH7185 about lettingH7971 us goH7971, that the 14LordH3068 killedH2026 everyH3605 firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, bothH4480 the firstbornH1060 of manH120 and the firstbornH1060 of beastH929. ThereforeH5921H3651, I sacrificeH2076 to the LordH3068 the malesH2145, the firstH6363 15offspringH6363 of everyH3605 wombH7358, but everyH3605 firstbornH1060 of my sonsH1121 I redeemH6299.’ 16So 16it shall 17serveH1961 as a signH226 on your handH3027 and as 18phylacteriesH2903 19on your foreheadH996H5869, for with a 20powerfulH2392 handH3027 the LordH3068 broughtH3318 us out of EgyptH4714.”
17Now when PharaohH6547 had letH7971 the peopleH5971 goH7971, GodH430 did not leadH5148 them by the wayH1870 of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, evenH3588 thoughH3588 it was nearH7138; for GodH430 saidH559, “21The peopleH5971 mightH6435 changeH5162 their mindsH5162 when they seeH7200 warH4421, and returnH7725 to EgyptH4714.”
