3MosesH4872 saidH559 to the peopleH5971, “3RememberH2142 thisH2088 dayH3117 in whichH834 you wentH3318 out from EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of 4slaveryH5650; for 5by 6a powerfulH2392 handH3027 the LordH3068 broughtH3318 you out from thisH2088 place. 7And nothingH3808 leavenedH2557 shall be eatenH398. 4On this dayH3117 in the 8monthH2320 of AbibH24, you are about to goH3318 forthH3318. 5It shall be whenH3588 the LordH3068 9bringsH935 you to the landH776 of the CanaaniteH3669, the HittiteH2850, the AmoriteH567, the HiviteH2340 and the JebusiteH2983, whichH834 10He sworeH7650 to your fathersH1 to giveH5414 you, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, 11that you shall 12observeH5647 thisH2088 riteH5656 in thisH2088 monthH2320. 6For 13sevenH7651 daysH3117 you shall eatH398 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, and on the seventhH7637 dayH3117 there shall be a feastH2282 to the LordH3068. 7UnleavenedH4682 breadH4682 shall be eatenH398 throughout the sevenH7651 daysH3117; and 14nothingH3808 leavenedH2557 shall be seenH7200 15among you, norH3808 shall any leavenH7603 be seenH7200 16among you in allH3605 your bordersH1366. 817You shall tellH5046 your sonH1121 on that dayH3117, sayingH559, ‘It is becauseH5668 of whatH2088 the LordH3068 didH6213 for me when I cameH3318 out of EgyptH4714.’ 9And 18it shall 19serveH1961 as a signH226 to you on your handH3027, and as a reminderH2146 20on your foreheadH996H5869, that the lawH8451 of the LordH3068 may be in your mouthH6310; for with 21a powerfulH2389 handH3027 the LordH3068 broughtH3318 you out of EgyptH4714. 10Therefore, you shall 22keepH8104 thisH2088 ordinanceH2708 at its appointedH4150 timeH4150 from 23yearH3117 to yearH3117.
11“Now whenH3588 24the LordH3068 bringsH935 you to the landH776 of the CanaaniteH3669, as 25He sworeH7650 to you and to your fathersH1, and givesH5414 it to you, 1226you shall 27devoteH5674 to the LordH3068 the firstH6363 28offspringH6363 of everyH3605 wombH7358, and 29the firstH6363 offspringH6363 of everyH3605 beastH929 that you ownH1961; the malesH2145 belong to the LordH3068. 13But 30everyH3605 firstH6363 31offspringH6363 of a donkeyH2543 you shall redeemH6299 with a lambH7716, but ifH518 you do not redeemH6299 it, then you shall breakH6202 its neckH6202; and 32everyH3605 firstbornH1060 of manH120 among your sonsH1121 you shall redeemH6299. 1433And it shall be whenH3588 your sonH1121 asksH7592 you in timeH4279 to comeH4279, sayingH559, ‘WhatH4100 is thisH2088?’ then you shall sayH559 to him, ‘34With a 35powerfulH2392 handH3027 the LordH3068 broughtH3318 us out of EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of 36slaveryH5650. 15It cameH1961 about, whenH3588 PharaohH6547 was stubbornH7185 about lettingH7971 us goH7971, that the 37LordH3068 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 38offspringH6363 of everyH3605 wombH7358, but everyH3605 firstbornH1060 of my sonsH1121 I redeemH6299.’
