CHAPTER 13
And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
2
Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth
the womb among the children of Israel,
both
of man and of beast: it
is
mine.
3
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 L
ORD
brought you out from this
place:
there
shall no leavened bread be eaten.
4
This day came ye out in the month Abib.
5
And it shall be when the L
ORD
shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, 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.
6
Seven days
thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day
shall be
a feast to the L
ORD
.
7
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.
8
And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying,
This is done
because of that
which
the L
ORD
did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
9
And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand,
and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the L
ORD
’S law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong
hand hath the L
ORD
brought thee out of Egypt.
10
Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his
season from year to year.
11
And it shall be when the L
ORD
shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware
unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,
12
That thou shalt set apart unto the L
ORD
all that
openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males
shall be
the L
ORD
’S.
13
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.
14
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 L
ORD
brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage:
15
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that the L
ORD
slew all the firstborn in
the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the
L
ORD
all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.
16
And
it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand
the L
ORD
brought us forth out of Egypt.
17
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:
18
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.
19
And 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.
20
And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the
wilderness.
21
And the L
ORD
went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way;
