1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, say­ing, 2 Sanc­ti­fy unto me all the first­born, what­so­ev­er openeth the womb among the chil­dren of Is­rael, both of man and of beast: it is mine. 3 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. 4 This day came ye out in the month Abib. 5 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. 6 Sev­en days thou shalt eat un­leav­ened bread, and in the sev­enth day shall be a feast to the LORD. 7 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. 8 And thou shalt shew 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. 9 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. 10 Thou shalt there­fore keep this or­di­nance in his sea­son from year to year. 11 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, 12 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. 13 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. 14 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: 15 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. 16 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. 17 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: 18 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. 19 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. 20 And they took their jour­ney from Suc­coth, and en­camped in Etham, in the edge of the wilder­ness. 21 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: 22 He took not away the pil­lar of the cloud by day, nor the pil­lar of fire by night, from be­fore the peo­ple.
