1 And the LORD{H3068} spake{H1696}{(H8762)} unto Moses{H4872}, saying{H559}{(H8800)},

2 Sanctify{H6942}{(H8761)} unto me all the firstborn{H1060}, whatsoever openeth{H6363} the womb{H7358} among the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, both of man{H120} and of beast{H929}: it is mine.

3 And Moses{H4872} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto the people{H5971}, Remember{H2142}{(H8800)} this{H2088} day{H3117}, in which ye came out{H3318}{(H8804)} from Egypt{H4714}, out of the house{H1004} of bondage{H5650}; for by strength{H2392} of hand{H3027} the LORD{H3068} brought you out{H3318}{(H8689)} from this place: there shall no leavened bread{H2557} be eaten{H398}{(H8735)}.

4 This day{H3117} came ye out{H3318}{(H8802)} in the month{H2320} Abib{H24}.

5 And it shall be when the LORD{H3068} shall bring{H935}{(H8686)} thee into the land{H776} of the Canaanites{H3669}, and the Hittites{H2850}, and the Amorites{H567}, and the Hivites{H2340}, and the Jebusites{H2983}, which he sware{H7650}{(H8738)} unto thy fathers{H1} to give{H5414}{(H8800)} thee, a land{H776} flowing{H2100}{(H8802)} with milk{H2461} and honey{H1706}, that thou shalt keep{H5647}{(H8804)} this service{H5656} in this month{H2320}.

6 Seven{H7651} days{H3117} thou shalt eat{H398}{(H8799)} unleavened bread{H4682}, and in the seventh{H7637} day{H3117} shall be a feast{H2282} to the LORD{H3068}.

7 Unleavened bread{H4682} shall be eaten{H398}{(H8735)} seven{H7651} days{H3117}; and there shall no leavened bread{H2557} be seen{H7200}{(H8735)} with thee, neither shall there be leaven{H7603} seen{H7200}{(H8735)} with thee in all thy quarters{H1366}.

8 And thou shalt shew{H5046}{(H8689)} thy son{H1121} in that day{H3117}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, This is done because of{H5668} that{H2088} which the LORD{H3068} did{H6213}{(H8804)} unto me when I came forth{H3318}{(H8800)} out of Egypt{H4714}.

9 And it shall be for a sign{H226} unto thee upon thine hand{H3027}, and for a memorial{H2146} between thine eyes{H5869}, that the LORD'S{H3068} law{H8451} may be in thy mouth{H6310}: for with a strong{H2389} hand{H3027} hath the LORD{H3068} brought thee out{H3318}{(H8689)} of Egypt{H4714}.

10 Thou shalt therefore keep{H8104}{(H8804)} this ordinance{H2708} in his season{H4150} from year{H3117} to year{H3117}.

11 And it shall be when the LORD{H3068} shall bring{H935}{(H8686)} thee into the land{H776} of the Canaanites{H3669}, as he sware{H7650}{(H8738)} unto thee and to thy fathers{H1}, and shall give{H5414}{(H8804)} it thee,

12 That thou shalt set apart{H5674}{(H8689)} unto the LORD{H3068} all that openeth{H6363} the matrix{H7358}, and every firstling{H6363} that cometh{H7698} of a beast{H929} which thou hast; the males{H2145} shall be the LORD'S{H3068}.

13 And every firstling{H6363} of an ass{H2543} thou shalt redeem{H6299}{(H8799)} with a lamb{H7716}; and if thou wilt not redeem{H6299}{(H8799)} it, then thou shalt break his neck{H6202}{(H8804)}: and all the firstborn{H1060} of man{H120} among thy children{H1121} shalt thou redeem{H6299}{(H8799)}.

14 And it shall be when thy son{H1121} asketh{H7592}{(H8799)} thee in time to come{H4279}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, What is this? that thou shalt say{H559}{(H8804)} unto him, By strength{H2392} of hand{H3027} the LORD{H3068} brought us out{H3318}{(H8689)} from Egypt{H4714}, from the house{H1004} of bondage{H5650}:

15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh{H6547} would hardly{H7185}{(H8689)} let us go{H7971}{(H8763)}, that the LORD{H3068} slew{H2026}{(H8799)} all the firstborn{H1060} in the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}, both the firstborn{H1060} of man{H120}, and the firstborn{H1060} of beast{H929}: therefore I sacrifice{H2076}{(H8802)} to the LORD{H3068} all that openeth{H6363} the matrix{H7358}, being males{H2145}; but all the firstborn{H1060} of my children{H1121} I redeem{H6299}{(H8799)}.

16 And it shall be for a token{H226} upon thine hand{H3027}, and for frontlets{H2903} between thine eyes{H5869}: for by strength{H2392} of hand{H3027} the LORD{H3068} brought us forth{H3318}{(H8689)} out of Egypt{H4714}.

17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh{H6547} had let the people{H5971} go{H7971}{(H8763)}, that God{H430} led{H5148}{(H8804)} them not through the way{H1870} of the land{H776} of the Philistines{H6430}, although{H3588} that was near{H7138}; for God{H430} said{H559}{(H8804)}, Lest peradventure the people{H5971} repent{H5162}{(H8735)} when they see{H7200}{(H8800)} war{H4421}, and they return{H7725}{(H8804)} to Egypt{H4714}:

18 But God{H430} led{H5437} the people{H5971} about{H5437}{(H8686)}, through the way{H1870} of the wilderness{H4057} of the Red{H5488} sea{H3220}: and the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} went up{H5927}{(H8804)} harnessed{H2571} out of the land{H776} of Egypt{H4714}.

19 And Moses{H4872} took{H3947}{(H8799)} the bones{H6106} of Joseph{H3130} with him: for he had straitly{H7650}{(H8687)} sworn{H7650}{(H8689)} the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, God{H430} will surely{H6485}{(H8800)} visit{H6485}{(H8799)} you; and ye shall carry up{H5927} my bones{H6106} away{H5927}{(H8689)} hence with you.

20 And they took their journey{H5265}{(H8799)} from Succoth{H5523}, and encamped{H2583}{(H8799)} in Etham{H864}, in the edge{H7097} of the wilderness{H4057}.

21 And the LORD{H3068} went{H1980}{(H8802)} before{H6440} them by day{H3119} in a pillar{H5982} of a cloud{H6051}, to lead{H5148}{(H8687)} them the way{H1870}; and by night{H3915} in a pillar{H5982} of fire{H784}, to give them light{H215}{(H8687)}; to go{H3212}{(H8800)} by day{H3119} and night{H3915}:

22 He took not away{H4185}{(H8686)} the pillar{H5982} of the cloud{H6051} by day{H3119}, nor the pillar{H5982} of fire{H784} by night{H3915}, from before{H6440} the people{H5971}.
