King James Version
Then
the LORD said
to
Moses,
And
the LORD spake
unto
Moses, saying,
“Consecrate
to
Me every
firstborn
male.
The firstborn from
every
womb among the Israelites
belongs
to
Me
, both of man and beast. ”
Sanctify
unto
me all
the firstborn ,
whatsoever
openeth
the
womb among the children
of
Israel
, both of man and of
beast :
it
is
mine
.
So
Moses told
the people, “
Remember this day, the
day
you
came out of
Egypt, out of the house of slavery
; for the LORD brought you out of
it
by
the
strength
of
His
hand.
And
nothing
leavened
shall be eaten.
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.
Today,
in the month of
Abib ,
you
are
leaving
.
This
day
came
ye
out
in the month Abib.
And when the LORD brings
you
into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites—
the land
He swore
to
your
fathers that
He
would
give you
, a land flowing with milk and honey —you
shall
keep this service in this month.
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.
For
seven days you
are
to
eat unleavened bread, and on
the seventh day there
shall be a feast to the LORD.
Seven days thou
shalt
eat unleavened bread, and in
the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.
Unleavened bread shall be eaten during
those
seven days .
Nothing
leavened may
be found
among
you
, nor
shall leaven
be found
anywhere
within
your
borders
.
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
.
And on
that day you
are
to
explain
to
your
son
, ‘
This is because of what
the LORD did for
me when I came out of Egypt. ’
And thou
shalt
show
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.
It shall be a sign for
you
on
your
hand and a reminder
on
your
forehead
that the Law of
the
LORD
is
to
be on
your
lips.
For with a mighty
hand the LORD brought you
out of Egypt.
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.
Therefore you
shall
keep this statute
at
the
appointed
time
year after
year.
Thou
shalt
therefore keep this ordinance
in
his
season
from
year to
year.
And after
the LORD brings
you
into the land of the Canaanites and
gives
it
to
you
, as He swore
to
you
and your
fathers,
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,
you
are
to
present
to
the LORD the firstborn
male
of
every womb.
All
the firstborn
males of
your
livestock
belong
to
the LORD
.
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
.
You
must
redeem
every firstborn
donkey
with a lamb ,
and if you
do
not redeem it, you
are
to
break its
neck .
And every
firstborn of your
sons
you
must
redeem.
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.
In
the
future,
when your
son asks
you
, ‘
What does
this mean
? ’
you
are
to
tell
him, ‘With
a
mighty
hand the LORD brought us out of
Egypt, out
of
the house of slavery.
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:
And when Pharaoh stubbornly
refused
to
let us go, the LORD killed
every
firstborn in the land of Egypt, both of man and beast .
This
is
why
I sacrifice to the LORD the firstborn
male
of
every
womb
, but I
redeem
all the firstborn of my sons
. ’
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
.
So
it shall serve
as
a sign
on
your
hand and
a
symbol
on
your
forehead
, for with
a
mighty
hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt. ”
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.
When Pharaoh let the people go, God did
not
lead
them along
the
road
through the land of the Philistines, though
it
was shorter.
For God said, “If
the people face
war, they
might
change
their
minds
and return to Egypt .”
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 :
So
God led the people around
by
the way of the wilderness toward
the Red Sea .
And the Israelites
left
the land of Egypt arrayed
for
battle
.
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.
Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because
Joseph
had made
the sons
of Israel swear
a
solemn
oath
when
he
said
, “
God will surely attend
to
you ,
and then
you
must
carry my bones with you from
this
place
. ”
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.
They set
out
from Succoth and camped
at
Etham on
the edge of the wilderness.
And
they took
their
journey
from Succoth ,
and encamped
in
Etham ,
in
the edge of the wilderness.
And the LORD went before them in a pillar of cloud to guide
their
way by
day,
and in a pillar of fire to give them light by
night,
so
that
they
could
travel
by day or
night .
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 :
Neither
the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left
its
place
before the people.
He
took
not
away
the pillar of the
cloud by day ,
nor the pillar of fire by night ,
from
before the people.
