Exodus 13:3–10

³Then Moses said to the people, “Remember this day when you came out of Egypt, out of the place of slavery, for the Lord brought you out of here by the strength of His hand. Nothing leavened may be eaten. ^z4Today, in the month of Abib, ^abyou are leaving. ⁵When the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites, ^cwhich He swore to your fathers that He would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, ^dyou must carry out this ritual in this month. ^e6For seven days you must eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there is to be a festival to the Lord. ⁷Unleavened bread is to be eaten for those seven days. Nothing leavened may be found among you, and no yeast may be found among you in all your territory. ⁸On that day explain to your son, ‘This is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’ ^f9Let it serve as a sign for you on your hand and as a reminder on your forehead, ^ghso that the Lord’s instruction may be in your mouth; for the Lord brought you out of Egypt with a strong hand. ¹⁰Keep this statute at its appointed time from year to year.
