Exodus 13:1-8

English Standard Version

Consecration of the Firstborn

13 The Lord said to Moses, ^2 (A)“Consecrate 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

³ Then Moses said to the people, ^(B)“Remember this day in which you came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery, ^(C)for by a strong hand the Lord brought you out from this place. ^(D)No leavened bread shall be eaten. ⁴ Today, in the month of ^(E)Abib, you are going out. ⁵ And when the Lord brings you into ^(F)the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which ^(G)he swore to your fathers to give you, a land ^(H)flowing with milk and honey, ^(I)you shall keep this service in this month. ^6 (J)Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the Lord. ⁷ Unleavened 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 (K)You shall tell your son on that day, ‘It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
