1 And the LORD * h3068 spake * h1696 h8762 unto Moses * h4872, saying * h559 h8800,
2 Sanctify * h6942 h8761 unto me all the firstborn * h1060, whatsoever openeth * h6363 the womb * h7358 among the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478, both of man * h120 and of beast * h929: it is mine.
3 And Moses * h4872 said * h559 h8799 unto the people * h5971, Remember * h2142 h8800 this * h2088 day * h3117, in which ye came out * h3318 h8804 from Egypt * h4714, out of the house * h1004 of bondage * h5650; for by strength * h2392 of hand * h3027 the LORD * h3068 brought you out * h3318 h8689 from this place : there shall no leavened bread * h2557 be eaten * h398 h8735. bondage: Heb. servants
4 This day * h3117 came ye out * h3318 h8802 in the month * h2320 Abib * h24.
5 And it shall be when the LORD * h3068 shall bring * h935 h8686 thee into the land * h776 of the Canaanites * h3669, and the Hittites * h2850, and the Amorites * h567, and the Hivites * h2340, and the Jebusites * h2983, which he sware * h7650 h8738 unto thy fathers * h1 to give * h5414 h8800 thee, a land * h776 flowing * h2100 h8802 with milk * h2461 and honey * h1706, that thou shalt keep * h5647 h8804 this service * h5656 in this month * h2320.
6 Seven * h7651 days * h3117 thou shalt eat * h398 h8799 unleavened bread * h4682, and in the seventh * h7637 day * h3117 shall be a feast * h2282 to the LORD * h3068.
7 Unleavened bread * h4682 shall be eaten * h398 h8735 seven * h7651 days * h3117; and there shall no leavened bread * h2557 be seen * h7200 h8735 with thee, neither shall there be leaven * h7603 seen * h7200 h8735 with thee in all thy quarters * h1366.
8 And thou shalt shew * h5046 h8689 thy son * h1121 in that day * h3117, saying * h559 h8800, This is done because of * h5668 that * h2088 which the LORD * h3068 did * h6213 h8804 unto me when I came forth * h3318 h8800 out of Egypt * h4714.
9 And it shall be for a sign * h226 unto thee upon thine hand * h3027, and for a memorial * h2146 between thine eyes * h5869, that the LORD'S * h3068 law * h8451 may be in thy mouth * h6310: for with a strong * h2389 hand * h3027 hath the LORD * h3068 brought thee out * h3318 h8689 of Egypt * h4714.
10 Thou shalt therefore keep * h8104 h8804 this ordinance * h2708 in his season * h4150 from year * h3117 to year * h3117.
11 And it shall be when the LORD * h3068 shall bring * h935 h8686 thee into the land * h776 of the Canaanites * h3669, as he sware * h7650 h8738 unto thee and to thy fathers * h1, and shall give * h5414 h8804 it thee,
12 That thou shalt set apart * h5674 h8689 unto the LORD * h3068 all that openeth * h6363 the matrix * h7358, and every firstling * h6363 that cometh * h7698 of a beast * h929 which thou hast; the males * h2145 shall be the LORD'S * h3068. set...: Heb. cause to pass over
13 And every firstling * h6363 of an ass * h2543 thou shalt redeem * h6299 h8799 with a lamb * h7716; and if thou wilt not redeem * h6299 h8799 it, then thou shalt break his neck * h6202 h8804: and all the firstborn * h1060 of man * h120 among thy children * h1121 shalt thou redeem * h6299 h8799. lamb: or, kid
14 And it shall be when thy son * h1121 asketh * h7592 h8799 thee in time to come * h4279, saying * h559 h8800, What is this? that thou shalt say * h559 h8804 unto him, By strength * h2392 of hand * h3027 the LORD * h3068 brought us out * h3318 h8689 from Egypt * h4714, from the house * h1004 of bondage * h5650: in...: Heb. to morrow
15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh * h6547 would hardly * h7185 h8689 let us go * h7971 h8763, that the LORD * h3068 slew * h2026 h8799 all the firstborn * h1060 in the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714, both the firstborn * h1060 of man * h120, and the firstborn * h1060 of beast * h929: therefore I sacrifice * h2076 h8802 to the LORD * h3068 all that openeth * h6363 the matrix * h7358, being males * h2145; but all the firstborn * h1060 of my children * h1121 I redeem * h6299 h8799.
16 And it shall be for a token * h226 upon thine hand * h3027, and for frontlets * h2903 between thine eyes * h5869: for by strength * h2392 of hand * h3027 the LORD * h3068 brought us forth * h3318 h8689 out of Egypt * h4714.
17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh * h6547 had let the people * h5971 go * h7971 h8763, that God * h430 led * h5148 h8804 them not through the way * h1870 of the land * h776 of the Philistines * h6430, although * h3588 that was near * h7138; for God * h430 said * h559 h8804, Lest peradventure the people * h5971 repent * h5162 h8735 when they see * h7200 h8800 war * h4421, and they return * h7725 h8804 to Egypt * h4714:
18 But God * h430 led * h5437 the people * h5971 about * h5437 h8686, through the way * h1870 of the wilderness * h4057 of the Red * h5488 sea * h3220: and the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478 went up * h5927 h8804 harnessed * h2571 out of the land * h776 of Egypt * h4714. harnessed: or, by five in a rank
19 And Moses * h4872 took * h3947 h8799 the bones * h6106 of Joseph * h3130 with him: for he had straitly * h7650 h8687 sworn * h7650 h8689 the children * h1121 of Israel * h3478, saying * h559 h8800, God * h430 will surely * h6485 h8800 visit * h6485 h8799 you; and ye shall carry up * h5927 my bones * h6106 away * h5927 h8689 hence with you.
20 And they took their journey * h5265 h8799 from Succoth * h5523, and encamped * h2583 h8799 in Etham * h864, in the edge * h7097 of the wilderness * h4057.
21 And the LORD * h3068 went * h1980 h8802 before * h6440 them by day * h3119 in a pillar * h5982 of a cloud * h6051, to lead * h5148 h8687 them the way * h1870; and by night * h3915 in a pillar * h5982 of fire * h784, to give them light * h215 h8687; to go * h3212 h8800 by day * h3119 and night * h3915:
22 He took not away * h4185 h8686 the pillar * h5982 of the cloud * h6051 by day * h3119, nor the pillar * h5982 of fire * h784 by night * h3915, from before * h6440 the people * h5971.
