Exodus 13:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 For when Pharaoh was hard hearted against our departing, the Lord then slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of man even to the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice unto the Lord all the males that first open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.
16 And it shall be as a token upon thine hand, and as [a]frontlets between thine eyes, that the Lord brought us out of Egypt by a mighty hand.
17 ¶ Now when Pharaoh had let the people go, God carried them not by the way of the Philistines’ country, [b]though it were nearer: (for God said, Lest the people repent when they [c]see war, and turn again to Egypt).
