Exodus 13:3-16

Exodus 13:3-16

[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  [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,  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.
