Exodus 13

Revised Literal Translation

1And YhwhH3068 spakeH1696 unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2SanctifyH6942 unto me all the firstbornH1060, whatsoever openethH6363 the wombH7358 among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, both of manH120 and of beastH929: it is mine.

3And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, RememberH2142 thisH2088 dayH3117, in which ye came outH3318 from EgyptH4714, out of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650; for by strengthH2392 of handH3027 YhwhH3068 brought you outH3318 from this place: there shall no leavened breadH2557 be eatenH398.1 4This dayH3117 came ye outH3318 in the monthH2320 AbibH24.

5And it shall be when YhwhH3068 shall bringH935 thee into the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, and the HittitesH2850, and the AmoritesH567, and the HivitesH2340, and the JebusitesH2983, which he swareH7650 unto thy fathersH1 to giveH5414 thee, a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, that thou shalt keepH5647 this serviceH5656 in this monthH2320. 6SevenH7651 daysH3117 thou shalt eatH398 unleavened breadH4682, and in the seventhH7637 dayH3117 shall be a feastH2282 to YhwhH3068. 7Unleavened breadH4682 shall be eatenH398 sevenH7651 daysH3117; and there shall no leavened breadH2557 be seenH7200 with thee, neither shall there be leavenH7603 seenH7200 with thee in all thy quartersH1366.

8And thou shalt shewH5046 thy sonH1121 in that dayH3117, sayingH559, This is done because ofH5668 thatH2088 which YhwhH3068 didH6213 unto me when I came forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714. 9And it shall be for a signH226 unto thee upon thine handH3027, and for a memorialH2146 between thine eyesH5869, that Yhwh’sH3068 lawH8451 may be in thy mouthH6310: for with a strongH2389 handH3027 hath YhwhH3068 brought thee outH3318 of EgyptH4714. 10Thou shalt therefore keepH8104 this ordinanceH2708 in his seasonH4150 from yearH3117 to yearH3117.

11And it shall be when YhwhH3068 shall bringH935 thee into the landH776 of the CanaanitesH3669, as he swareH7650 unto thee and to thy fathersH1, and shall giveH5414 it thee, 12That thou shalt set apartH5674 unto YhwhH3068 all that openethH6363 the matrixH7358, and every firstlingH6363 that comethH7698 of a beastH929 which thou hast; the malesH2145 shall be Yhwh'sH3068.2 13And every firstlingH6363 of a donkeyH2543 thou shalt redeemH6299 with a lambH7716; and if thou wilt not redeemH6299 it, then thou shalt break his neckH6202: and all the firstbornH1060 of manH120 among thy childrenH1121 shalt thou redeemH6299.3

14And it shall be when thy sonH1121 askethH7592 thee in time to comeH4279, sayingH559, What is this? that thou shalt sayH559 unto him, By strengthH2392 of handH3027 YhwhH3068 brought us outH3318 from EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650:4 15And it came to pass, when PharaohH6547 stubbornly refusedH7185 to let us goH7971, that YhwhH3068 slewH2026 all the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, both the firstbornH1060 of manH120, and the firstbornH1060 of beastH929: therefore I sacrificeH2076 to YhwhH3068 all that openethH6363 the matrixH7358, being malesH2145; but all the firstbornH1060 of my childrenH1121 I redeemH6299. 16And it shall be for a tokenH226 upon thine handH3027, and for frontletsH2903 between thine eyesH5869: for by strengthH2392 of handH3027 YhwhH3068 brought us forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714.

17And it came to pass, when PharaohH6547 had let the peopleH5971 goH7971, that GodH430 ledH5148 them not through the wayH1870 of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, althoughH3588 that was nearH7138; for GodH430 saidH559, Lest peradventure the peopleH5971 repentH5162 when they seeH7200 warH4421, and they returnH7725 to EgyptH4714: 18But GodH430 ledH5437 the peopleH5971 aboutH5437, through the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057 of the RedH5488 seaH3220: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 went upH5927 armedH2571 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.5 19And MosesH4872 tookH3947 the bonesH6106 of JosephH3130 with him: for he had straitlyH7650 swornH7650 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, GodH430 will surelyH6485 visitH6485 you; and ye shall carry upH5927 my bonesH6106 awayH5927 hence with you.

20And they took their journeyH5265 from SuccothH5523, and encampedH2583 in EthamH864, in the edgeH7097 of the wildernessH4057. 21And YhwhH3068 wentH1980 beforeH6440 them by dayH3119 in a pillarH5982 of a cloudH6051, to leadH5148 them the wayH1870; and by nightH3915 in a pillarH5982 of fireH784, to give them lightH215; to goH3212 by dayH3119 and nightH3915: 22He took not awayH4185 the pillarH5982 of the cloudH6051 by dayH3119, nor the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, from beforeH6440 the peopleH5971.
