Exodus 13:3–16

³And Moses said unto the people, ^bRemember 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: ^cthere shall no leavened bread be eaten. ⁴This day came ye out in the month ^dAbib. ⁵And it shall be when the Lord shall ^ebring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he ^fsware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land ^gflowing with milk and honey, ^hthat thou shalt keep this service in this month. ⁶ⁱSeven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the Lord. ⁷Unleavened 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. ⁸And thou shalt ^kshew 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. ⁹And it shall be for ^la sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for ^ma memorial ^lbetween 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. ¹⁰ⁿThou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year. ¹¹And 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, ^12othat 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. ¹³And ^pevery 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 amongst thy children ^qshalt thou redeem. ^14rAnd it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, ^sBy strength of hand the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage: ¹⁵and it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that ^tthe 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 ^uall the firstborn of my children I redeem. ¹⁶And it shall be for ^xa token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt.
