Revised Version 1895
1And the LORDH3068 spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 2SanctifyH6942 unto meH3605 allH3605 the firstbornH1060, whatsoeverH3605 openeth the wombH7358 among the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, bothH3605 of manH120 and of beastH929: it is mine. 3And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto the peopleH5971, RememberH2142 this dayH3117, in whichH834 ye cameH3318 outH3318 from EgyptH4714, outH3318 of the houseH1004 of bondageH5650; for by strengthH3027 of handH3027 the LORDH3068 broughtH3318 youH834 outH3318 from this placeH3027: there shall noH3808 leavenedH2557 breadH2557 be eatenH398. 4This dayH3117 ye goH3318 forthH3318 in the monthH2320 AbibH24. 5And it shall be when the LORDH3068 shall bringH935 thee intoH413 the landH776 of the CanaaniteH3669, and the HittiteH2850, and the AmoriteH567, and the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983, whichH834 he sware 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 unleavenedH4682 breadH4682, and in the seventhH7637 dayH3117 shall be a feastH2282 to the LORDH3068. 7UnleavenedH4682 breadH4682 shall be eatenH398 throughoutH3605 the sevenH7651 daysH3117; and there shall noH3808 leavenedH2557 breadH4682 be seenH7200 with thee, neitherH3808 shall there be leavenH7603 seenH7200 with thee, in allH3605 thy bordersH1366. 8And thou shalt tellH5046 thy sonH1121 in that dayH3117, sayingH559, It is becauseH5668 of that whichH1931 the LORDH3068 didH6213 for meH5046 when I cameH3318 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714. 9And it shall be for a signH226 unto thee uponH5921 thine handH3027, and for a memorialH2146 betweenH996 thine eyesH5869, that the lawH8451 of the LORDH3068 may be in thy mouthH6310: for with a strongH2389 handH3027 hath the LORDH3068 broughtH3318 thee outH3318 of EgyptH4714. 10Thou shalt therefore keepH8104 this ordinanceH2708 in itsH853 seasonH4150 from yearH3117 to yearH3117. 11And it shall be when the LORDH3068 shall bringH935 thee intoH413 the landH776 of the CanaaniteH3669, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathersH1, and shall giveH5414 it thee, 12that thou shalt setH834 apart unto the LORDH3068 allH3605 that openeth the wombH7358, and everyH3605 firstlingH6363 whichH834 thou hast that cometh of a beastH929; the malesH2145 shall be the LORD’SH3068. 13And everyH3605 firstlingH6363 of an ass thou shalt redeemH6299 with a lambH7716; and ifH518 thou wilt notH3808 redeemH6299 it, then thou shalt breakH6202 itsH3605 neckH6202: and allH3605 the firstbornH1060 of manH120 among thy sonsH1121 shalt thou redeemH6299. 14And it shall be when thy sonH1121 asketh thee in time to comeH1961, sayingH559, WhatH4100 is this? that thou shalt sayH559 unto him, By strengthH3027 of handH3027 the LORDH3068 broughtH3318 usH413 outH3318 from EgyptH4714, from the houseH1004 of bondageH5650: 15and it cameH1961 to passH1961, when PharaohH6547 would hardly letH7971 usH5921 goH7971, that the LORDH3068 slewH2026 allH3605 the firstbornH1060 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, bothH3605 the firstbornH1060 of manH120, and the firstbornH1060 of beastH929: therefore I sacrificeH2076 to the LORDH3068 allH3605 that openeth the wombH7358, beingH1961 malesH2145; but allH3605 the firstbornH1060 of my sonsH1121 I redeemH6299. 16And it shall be for a signH226 uponH5921 thine handH3027, and for frontlets betweenH996 thine eyesH5869: for by strengthH3027 of handH3027 the LORDH3068 broughtH3318 usH5921 forthH3318 outH3318 of EgyptH4714. 17And it cameH1961 to passH1961, when PharaohH6547 had letH7971 the peopleH5971 goH7971, that GodH430 ledH5148 them notH3808 by the wayH1870 of the landH776 of the PhilistinesH6430, althoughH3588 that was nearH7138; for GodH430 saidH559, LestH6435 peradventure the peopleH5971 repentH7725 when they seeH7200 warH4421, and they returnH7725 to EgyptH4714: 18but GodH430 ledH5437 the peopleH5971 aboutH5437, by the wayH1870 of the wildernessH4057 by the Red SeaH3220: and the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 wentH5927 upH5927 armed outH853 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 19And MosesH4872 tookH3947 the bonesH6106 of JosephH3130 with him: for he had straitly swornH7650 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, sayingH559, GodH430 will surelyH3588 visitH6485 youH3588; and ye shall carryH5927 upH5927 my bonesH6106 awayH3947 hence with youH3588. 20And they took their journeyH5265 from SuccothH5523, and encampedH2583 in Etham, in the edge of the wildernessH4057. 21And the LORDH3068 wentH1980 beforeH6440 them by dayH3119 in a pillarH5982 of cloudH6051, to leadH5148 them the wayH1870; and by nightH3915 in a pillarH5982 of fireH784, to giveH215 them lightH215; that they might goH1980 by dayH3119 and by nightH3915: 22the pillarH5982 of cloudH6051 by dayH3119, and the pillarH5982 of fireH784 by nightH3915, departedH4185 notH3808 from beforeH6440 the peopleH5971.
