Exodus 13:2-12

2“Consecrate to Me all the firstborn, from every womb of Bnei-Yisrael, both men and animals—this is Mine.”

3Moses said to the people, “Remember this day, on which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage. For by a strong hand Adonai brought you out from this place. No hametz may be eaten.

4This day, in the month of Aviv, you are going out.

5When Adonai brings you into the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, you are to observe this service during this month.

6For seven days you are to eat matzah , and the seventh day is to be a feast to Adonai.

7Matzot is to be eaten throughout the seven days, and no hametz is to be seen among you, nor within any of your borders.

8“You are to tell your son on that day saying, ‘It is because of what Adonai did for me when I came out of Egypt.

9So it will be like a sign on your hand and a reminder between your eyes, so that the Torah of Adonai may be in your mouth. For with a strong hand Adonai has brought you out of Egypt.

10You are to keep this ordinance as a moed from year to year.

11“Now when Adonai brings you into the land of the Canaanite, as He swore to you and your fathers and gives it you,

12you are to set apart to Adonai every firstborn from the womb, and every firstborn male animal you have will be Adonai’s.
