Exodus

Chapter 13

1 And the LORD 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 LORD 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 LORD 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 LORD.

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 LORD 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 LORD'S law may be in thy mouth:

for with a strong hand hath the LORD 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 LORD 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 LORD all that openeth the

matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the

males shall be the LORD'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 LORD 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 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.

16 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.

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 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:

22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar

of fire by night, from before the people.
