* And the LORD spake unto Moses , saying , * Sanctify unto me all the firstborn , whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel Yisra #el #, both of man and of beast : it is mine . * And 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 the LORD brought you out from this place : there shall no leavened bread be eaten . * This day came ye out in the month Abib . * And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites K @na #aniy #, and the Hittites , and the Amorites , and the Hivites , and the Jebusites , which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee , a land flowing with milk and honey , that thou shalt keep this service in this month . * Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread , and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD . * Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days ; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee , neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters . * And thou shalt shew thy son in that day , saying , This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt . * And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand , and for a memorial between thine eyes , that the LORDS law may be in thy mouth : for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt . * Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year . * And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites K @na #aniy #, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers , and shall give it thee , * That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix , and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast ; the males shall be the LORDS . * And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb ; and if thou wilt not redeem it , then thou shalt break his neck : and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem . * And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come , saying , What is this ? that thou shalt say unto him , By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt , from the house of bondage : * And it came to pass , when Pharaoh would hardly let us go , that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt , both the firstborn of man , and the firstborn of beast : therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix , being males ; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem . * And it shall be for a token upon thine hand , and for frontlets between thine eyes : for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt . * And it came to pass , when Pharaoh had let the people go , that God led them not through 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 : * But God led # the people about , through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea : and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt . * And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him : for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel Yisra #el #, saying , God will surely visit you ; and ye shall carry upmy bones away hence with you . * And they took their journey from Succoth , and encamped in Etham , in the edge of the wilderness . * And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud , to lead them the way ; and by night in a pillar of fire , to give them light ; to go by day and night : * He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day , nor the pillar of fire by night , from before the people .
