Exodus 13:2-12

2“1Sanctify to Me every firstborn, the firstborn of every womb among the sons of Israel, among people and animals alike; it belongs to Me.”

3And Moses said to the people, “2Remember this day in which you departed from Egypt, from the house of 3slavery; for 4by 5a powerful hand the Lord brought you out from this place. 6And nothing with yeast shall be eaten. 4On this day in the 7month of Abib, you are about to go out from here. 5And it shall be when the Lord 8brings you to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which 9He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, 10that you shall 11perform this rite in this month. 6For 12seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the Lord. 7Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and 13nothing with yeast shall 14be seen among you, nor shall any dough with yeast 15be seen among you in all your borders. 8And 16you shall tell your son on that day, saying, ‘It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’ 9And 17it shall 18serve as a sign to you on your hand, and as a reminder 19on your forehead, that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth; for with 20a powerful hand the Lord brought you out of Egypt. 10Therefore, you shall 21keep this ordinance at its appointed time from 22year to year.

11“Now when 23the Lord brings you to the land of the Canaanite, as 24He swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you, 1225you shall 26devote to the Lord every firstborn of a womb, and every firstborn offspring of an animal that you own; the males belong to the Lord.
