Exodus 13:1–10

Sanctifying the Firstborn

¹Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,

²“^aSanctify to Me every firstborn, the first ¹offspring of every womb among the sons of Israel, both of man and beast; it belongs to Me.”

The Feast of Unleavened Bread

³And Moses said to the people, “^aRemember this day in which you went out from Egypt, from the house of ¹slavery; for ^bby a strong hand Yahweh brought you out from this place. ^cAnd nothing leavened shall be eaten.

⁴“This day, in the ^amonth of Abib, you are going out.

⁵“And it shall be when Yahweh ^abrings you to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which ^bHe swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, ^cthat you shall ¹do this service in this month.

⁶“For ^aseven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to Yahweh.

⁷“Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and ^anothing leavened shall be seen ¹among you, nor shall any leaven be seen ²among you in all your borders.

⁸“^aAnd you shall tell your son on that day, saying, ‘It is because of what Yahweh did for me when I came out of Egypt.’

⁹“And ^ait will be as a sign to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that the law of Yahweh may be in your mouth; for with ^ba strong hand Yahweh brought you out of Egypt.

¹⁰“Therefore, you shall ^akeep this statute at its appointed time from ¹year to year.
