Exodus 13:1-10

Consecration of the Firstborn

1The Lord said to Moses, 2 aConsecrate to me all the firstborn. Whatever is the first to open the womb among the people of Israel, both of man and of beast, is mine.”

The Feast of Unleavened Bread

3Then Moses said to the people, bRemember this day in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, cfor by a strong hand the Lord brought you out from this place. dNo leavened bread shall be eaten. 4Today, in the month of eAbib, you are going out. 5And when the Lord brings you into fthe land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which ghe swore to your fathers to give you, a land hflowing with milk and honey, iyou shall keep this service in this month. 6 jSeven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the Lord. 7Unleavened bread shall be eaten for seven days; no leavened bread shall be seen with you, and no leaven shall be seen with you in all your territory. 8 kYou shall tell your son on that day, ‘It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’ 9And it shall lbe to you as a sign on your hand and as ma memorial nbetween your eyes, that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth. For with a strong hand the Lord has brought you out of Egypt. 10 oYou shall therefore keep this statute at its appointed time from year to year.
