Exodus 13 1And YHWH spake unto Moses, saying, 2Sanctify unto me
all the first-born, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of
Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine. 3And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which
ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of
hand YHWH brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened
bread be eaten. 4This day ye go forth in the month Abib. 5And it shall be, when YHWH shall bring thee into the land of the
Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the
Jebusite, which he sware unto your fathers to give thee, a land flowing
with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month. 6Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh
day shall be a feast to Jehovah. 7Unleavened bread shall be eaten
throughout the seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen
with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee, in all thy
borders. 8And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, It is
because of that which YHWH did for me when I came forth out of
Egypt. 9And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon your hand, and
for a memorial between yours eyes, that the law of YHWH may be in
your mouth: for with a strong hand hath YHWH brought thee out of
Egypt. 10Thou shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season
from year to year. 11And it shall be, when YHWH shall bring thee into the land
of the Canaanite, as he sware unto thee and to your fathers, and shall
give it thee, 12that you shall set apare unto YHWH all that
openeth the womb, and every firstling which you hast that cometh of a
beast; the males shall be Jehovah's. 13And every firstling of an
ass you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you wilt not redeem it, then
you shall break its neck: and all the first-born of man among your sons
shall you redeem. 14And it shall be, when your son asketh thee in
time to come, saying, What is this? that you shall say unto him, By
strength of hand YHWH brought us out from Egypt, from the house of
bondage: 15and it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us
go, that YHWH slew all the first-born in the land of Egypt, both the
first-born of man, and the first-born of beast: therefore I sacrifice
to YHWH all that openeth the womb, being males; but all the
first-born of my sons I redeem. 16And it shall be for a sign upon
your hand, and for frontlets between yours eyes: for by strength of hand
YHWH brought us forth out of Egypt. 17And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go,
that God led them not by the way of the land of the Philistines,
although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people
repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt: 18but God led
the people about, by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea: and the
children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt. 19And
Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the
children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall
carry up my bones away hence with you. 20And they took their
journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the
wilderness. 21And YHWH went before them by day in a pillar of
cloud, to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give
them light, that they might go by day and by night: 22the pillar
of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, departed not from
before the people. Average revision: 0 (ASV Unaltered)
