ASV_Strong : Exodus 13
1. And Jehovah[H3068] spake[H1696] unto Moses[H4872], saying[H559],
2. Sanctify[H6942] unto me all the first-born[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] unto the people[H5971], Remember[H2142] this[H2088] day[H3117], in which ye came out[H3318] from Egypt[H4714], out of the house[H1004] of bondage[H5650]; for by strength[H2392] of hand[H3027] Jehovah[H3068] brought you out[H3318] from this place[H2557]: there shall no leavened bread be eaten[H398].
4. This day[H3117] ye go forth[H3318] in the month[H2320] Abib[H24].
5. And it shall be[H3068], when Jehovah shall bring[H935] thee into the land[H776] of the Canaanite[H3669], and the Hittite[H2850], and the Amorite[H567], and the Hivite[H2340], and the Jebusite[H2983], which he sware[H7650] unto thy fathers[H1] to give[H5414] thee[H776], a land flowing[H2100] with milk[H2461] and honey[H1706], that thou shalt keep[H5647] this service[H5656] in this month[H2320].
6. Seven[H7651] days[H3117] thou shalt eat[H398] unleavened bread[H4682], and in the seventh[H7637] day[H3117] shall be a feast[H2282] to Jehovah[H3068].
7. Unleavened bread[H4682] shall be eaten[H398] throughout the seven[H7651] days[H3117]; and there shall no leavened bread[H2557] be seen[H7200] with thee[H7603], neither shall there be leaven seen[H7200] with thee[H1366], in all thy borders.
8. And thou shalt tell[H5046] thy son[H1121] in that day[H3117], saying[H559], It is because of[H5668] that[H2088] which Jehovah[H3068] did[H6213] for me when I came forth[H3318] out of Egypt[H4714].
9. And it shall be for a sign[H226] unto thee upon thy hand[H3027], and for a memorial[H2146] between thine eyes[H5869], that the law[H8451] of Jehovah[H3068] may be in thy mouth[H6310]: for with a strong[H2389] hand[H3027] hath Jehovah[H3068] brought thee out[H3318] of Egypt[H4714].
10. Thou shalt therefore keep[H8104] this ordinance[H2708] in its season[H4150] from year[H3117] to year[H3117].
11. And it shall be[H3068], when Jehovah shall bring[H935] thee into the land[H776] of the Canaanite[H3669], as he sware[H7650] unto thee and to thy fathers[H1], and shall give it thee[H5414],
12. that thou shalt set apart[H5674] unto Jehovah[H3068] all that openeth[H6363] the womb[H7358], and every firstling[H6363] which thou hast that cometh[H7698] of a beast[H929]; the males[H2145] shall be Jehovah[H3068]'s.
13. And every firstling[H6363] of an ass[H2543] thou shalt redeem[H6299] with a lamb[H7716]; and if thou wilt not redeem[H6299] it[H6202], then thou shalt break its neck: and all the first-born[H1060] of man[H120] among thy sons[H1121] shalt thou redeem[H6299].
14. And it shall be[H1121], when thy son asketh[H7592] thee in time to come[H4279], saying[H559], What is this[H559]? that thou shalt say unto him[H2392], By strength of hand[H3027] Jehovah[H3068] brought us out[H3318] from Egypt[H4714], from the house[H1004] of bondage[H5650]:
15. and it came to pass[H6547], when Pharaoh would hardly[H7185] let us go[H7971], that Jehovah[H3068] slew[H2026] all the first-born[H1060] in the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714], both the first-born[H1060] of man[H120], and the first-born[H1060] of beast[H929]: therefore I sacrifice[H2076] to Jehovah[H3068] all that openeth[H6363] the womb[H7358], being males[H2145]; but all the first-born[H1060] of my sons[H1121] I redeem[H6299].
16. And it shall be for a sign[H226] upon thy hand[H3027], and for frontlets[H2903] between thine eyes[H5869]: for by strength[H2392] of hand[H3027] Jehovah[H3068] brought us forth[H3318] out of Egypt[H4714].
17. And it came to pass[H6547], when Pharaoh had let the people[H5971] go[H7971], that God[H430] led[H5148] them not by the way[H1870] of the land[H776] of the Philistines[H6430], although[H3588] that was near[H7138]; for God[H430] said[H559], Lest peradventure the people[H5971] repent[H5162] when they see[H7200] war[H4421], and they return[H7725] to Egypt[H4714]:
18. but God[H430] led[H5437] the people[H5971] about[H5437], by the way[H1870] of the wilderness[H4057] by the Red[H5488] Sea[H3220]: and the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478] went up[H5927] armed[H2571] out of the land[H776] of Egypt[H4714].
19. And Moses[H4872] took[H3947] the bones[H6106] of Joseph[H3130] with him[H7650]: for he had straitly sworn[H7650] the children[H1121] of Israel[H3478], saying[H559], God[H430] will surely[H6485] visit[H6485] you[H5927]; and ye shall carry up my bones[H6106] away hence with you[H5927].
20. And they took their journey[H5265] from Succoth[H5523], and encamped[H2583] in Etham[H864], in the edge[H7097] of the wilderness[H4057].
21. And Jehovah[H3068] went[H1980] before[H6440] them by day[H3119] in a pillar[H5982] of cloud[H6051], to lead[H5148] them the way[H1870], and by night[H3915] in a pillar[H5982] of fire[H784], to give them light[H215]; that they might go[H3212] by day[H3119] and by night[H3915]:
22. the pillar[H5982] of cloud[H6051] by day[H3119], and the pillar[H5982] of fire[H784] by night[H3915], departed[H4185] not from before[H6440] the people[H5971].
