ThereforeH5921H3651, I sacrificeH2076 to the LordH3068 the malesH2145, the firstH6363 13offspringH6363 of everyH3605 wombH7358, but everyH3605 firstbornH1060 of my sonsH1121 I redeemH6299.’ 16So 14it shall 15serveH1961 as a signH226 on your handH3027 and as 16phylacteriesH2903 17on your foreheadH996H5869, for with a 18powerfulH2392 handH3027 the LordH3068 broughtH3318 us out of EgyptH4714.”
