* And Jehovah spoke to Moses , saying , * Set apart to Me every first-born , the one Opening the womb among the sons of Israel , among men and among livestock ; they shall be Mine . * And Moses said to the people , Remember this day in which you went out from Egypt , from the house of slaves . For by the might of His hand Jehovah brought you out from here . And no leavened bread shall be eaten . * Today , in the month of Abib , you are going out . * And it shall be when Jehovah brings you into the land of the Canaanite , and the Hittite , and the Amorite , and the Hivite , and the Jebusite , which He swore to your fathers to give to you , a land flowing with milk and honey , you shall do this service in this month . * Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread , and on the seventh day keep a feast to Jehovah . * Unleavened bread shall be eaten the seven days . And leavened bread for you shall not be seen ; yea , no leaven shall be seen among you in all your boundaries . * And you shall tell your son in that day , saying , It is because of what Jehovah did for me when I came out from Egypt . * And it shall be for a sign to you on your hand , and a memorial between your eyes , so that a law of Jehovah may be in your mouth . For with a strong hand Jehovah brought you out from Egypt . * And you shall keep this ordinance at its appointed time , from days to days . * And it shall be when Jehovah brings you into the land of the Canaanite , as He swore to you and to your fathers , and gives it to you , * you shall set apart to Jehovah every one opening the womb , and every firstling , the offspring of animals which are yours ; the males are Jehovah 's . * And every firstling of an ass you shall redeem with a flock animal . And if you do not redeem , you shall break its neck . And every first-born of men among your sons you shall redeem . * And it shall be when your son asks you on the morrow , saying , What is this ? You shall say to him , Jehovah brought us out from Egypt by the might of His hand , from the house of slaves . * And it happened when Pharaoh hardened himself against sending us away , Jehovah killed every first-born one in the land of Egypt , from the first-born of men even to the first-born of animals . On account of this I sacrifice to Jehovah every one of the males opening the womb , and I redeem every first-born of my sons . * And it shall be for a sign on your hand , and frontlets between your eyes . For Jehovah brought us out from Egypt by the might of His hand . * And it happened , in Pharaoh 's sending away the people , God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines , though it was near . For God said , Lest the people repent when they see war , and return to Egypt . * But God made the people turn toward the way of the wilderness , to the Sea of Reeds . And the sons of Israel went up armed from the land of Egypt . * And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him . For he had made the sons of Israel certainly swear , saying , God will surely visit you , and you shall cause my bones to go from here with you . * And they pulled up from Succoth , and they camped at Etham , in the edge of the wilderness . * And Jehovah was going before them by day in a pillar of cloud , to lead them in the way ; and by night in a pillar of fire , to give light to them , to go by day and by night . * The pillar of cloud did not cease by day , and the pillar of fire by night , before the people .
