The Firstborn Consecrated
13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 2 (A)“Consecrate[a] to Me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine.”
The Feast of Unleavened Bread(B)
3 And Moses said to the people: (C)“Remember this day in which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of [b]bondage; for (D)by strength of hand the Lord brought you out of this place. (E)No leavened bread shall be eaten. 4 (F)On this day you are going out, in the month Abib. 5 And it shall be, when the Lord (G)brings you into the (H)land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, which He (I)swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, (J)that you shall keep this service in this month. 6 (K)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 seven days. And (L)no leavened bread shall be seen among you, nor shall leaven be seen among you in all your quarters. 8 And you shall (M)tell your son in that day, saying, ‘This is done because of what the Lord did for me when I came up from Egypt.’ 9 It shall be as (N)a sign to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that the Lord’s law may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand the Lord has brought you out of Egypt. 10 (O)You shall therefore keep this [c]ordinance in its season from year to year.
The Law of the Firstborn
11 “And it shall be, when the Lord (P)brings you into the land of the (Q)Canaanites, as He swore to you and your fathers, and gives it to you, 12 (R)that you shall [d]set apart to the Lord all that open the womb, that is, every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have; the males shall be the Lord’s. 13 But (S)every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. And all the firstborn of man among your sons (T)you shall redeem. 14 (U)So it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall say to him, (V)‘By strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. 15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that (W)the Lord killed 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 males that open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’ 16 It shall be as (X)a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt.”
The Wilderness Way(Y)
17 Then it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, “Lest perhaps the people (Z)change their minds when they see war, and (AA)return to Egypt.” 18 So God (AB)led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt.
19 And Moses took the (AC)bones of (AD)Joseph with him, for he had placed the children of Israel under solemn oath, saying, (AE)“God will surely [e]visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here with you.”
20 So (AF)they took their journey from (AG)Succoth and camped in Etham at the edge of the wilderness. 21 And (AH)the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way, and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so as to go by day and night. 22 He did not take away the pillar of cloud by day or the pillar of fire by night from before the people.

Sanctifying the Firstborn
13 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 2 “(A)Sanctify to Me every firstborn, the first [a]offspring of every womb among the sons of Israel, both of man and beast; it belongs to Me.”
The Feast of Unleavened Bread
3 And Moses said to the people, “(B)Remember this day in which you went out from Egypt, from the house of [b]slavery; for (C)by a strong hand Yahweh brought you out from this place. (D)And nothing leavened shall be eaten. 4 This day, in the (E)month of Abib, you are going out. 5 And it shall be when Yahweh (F)brings you to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which (G)He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, (H)that you shall [c]do this service in this month. 6 For (I)seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to Yahweh. 7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and (J)nothing leavened shall be seen [d]among you, nor shall any leaven be seen [e]among you in all your borders. 8 (K)And you shall tell your son on that day, saying, ‘It is because of what Yahweh did for me when I came out of Egypt.’ 9 And (L)it will be as a sign to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that the law of Yahweh may be in your mouth; for with (M)a strong hand Yahweh brought you out of Egypt. 10 Therefore, you shall (N)keep this statute at its appointed time from [f]year to year.
11 “And it will be when (O)Yahweh brings you to the land of the Canaanite, as (P)He swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it to you, 12 (Q)and you shall [g]devote to Yahweh the first [h]offspring of every womb and [i]the first offspring of every beast that you own; the males belong to Yahweh. 13 But (R)every first [j]offspring of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, but if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck; and (S)every firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem. 14 (T)And it will be when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ then you shall say to him, ‘(U)With a strong hand Yahweh brought us out of Egypt, from the house of [k]slavery. 15 And it happened, when Pharaoh hardened his heart with stiffness about letting us go, that (V)Yahweh killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore, I sacrifice to Yahweh the males, the first [l]offspring of every womb, but every firstborn of my sons I redeem.’ 16 So (W)it will be as a sign on your hand and as [m]phylacteries between your eyes, for with a strong hand Yahweh brought us out of Egypt.”
Pillars of Cloud and Fire
17 Now it happened that when Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not guide them by the way of the land of the Philistines, even though it was near; for God said, “(X)Lest the people change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt.” 18 Hence God turned the people to the way of the wilderness to the [n]Red Sea; and the sons of Israel went up (Y)in battle array from the land of Egypt. 19 And Moses took (Z)the bones of Joseph with him, for he had made the sons of Israel solemnly swear, saying, “God will surely [o]take care of you, and you shall bring up my bones from here with you.” 20 Then they set out from (AA)Succoth and camped in Etham on the edge of the wilderness. 21 (AB)And Yahweh was going before them in a pillar of cloud by day to guide them on the way, and in a pillar of fire by night to give them light, that they might go by day and by night. 22 [p]He (AC)did not take away the pillar of cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.

Consecration of the Firstborn
13 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Consecrate to me every firstborn male.(A) The first offspring of every womb among the Israelites belongs to me, whether human or animal.”
3 Then Moses said to the people, “Commemorate this day, the day you came out of Egypt,(B) out of the land of slavery, because the Lord brought you out of it with a mighty hand.(C) Eat nothing containing yeast.(D) 4 Today, in the month of Aviv,(E) you are leaving. 5 When the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites,(F) Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites(G)—the land he swore to your ancestors to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey(H)—you are to observe this ceremony(I) in this month: 6 For seven days eat bread made without yeast and on the seventh day hold a festival(J) to the Lord. 7 Eat unleavened bread during those seven days; nothing with yeast in it is to be seen among you, nor shall any yeast be seen anywhere within your borders. 8 On that day tell your son,(K) ‘I do this because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’ 9 This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand(L) and a reminder on your forehead(M) that this law of the Lord is to be on your lips. For the Lord brought you out of Egypt with his mighty hand.(N) 10 You must keep this ordinance(O) at the appointed time(P) year after year.
11 “After the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites(Q) and gives it to you, as he promised on oath(R) to you and your ancestors,(S) 12 you are to give over to the Lord the first offspring of every womb. All the firstborn males of your livestock belong to the Lord.(T) 13 Redeem with a lamb every firstborn donkey,(U) but if you do not redeem it, break its neck.(V) Redeem(W) every firstborn among your sons.(X)
14 “In days to come, when your son(Y) asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ say to him, ‘With a mighty hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.(Z) 15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the Lord killed the firstborn of both people and animals in Egypt. This is why I sacrifice to the Lord the first male offspring of every womb and redeem each of my firstborn sons.’(AA) 16 And it will be like a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead(AB) that the Lord brought us out of Egypt with his mighty hand.”
Crossing the Sea
17 When Pharaoh let the people go, God did not lead them on the road through the Philistine country, though that was shorter. For God said, “If they face war, they might change their minds and return to Egypt.”(AC) 18 So God led(AD) the people around by the desert road toward the Red Sea.[a] The Israelites went up out of Egypt ready for battle.(AE)
19 Moses took the bones of Joseph(AF) with him because Joseph had made the Israelites swear an oath. He had said, “God will surely come to your aid, and then you must carry my bones up with you from this place.”[b](AG)
20 After leaving Sukkoth(AH) they camped at Etham on the edge of the desert.(AI) 21 By day the Lord went ahead(AJ) of them in a pillar of cloud(AK) to guide them on their way and by night in a pillar of fire to give them light, so that they could travel by day or night. 22 Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night left(AL) its place in front of the people.

짐승의 첫태생과 무교절
13 여호와께서 모세에게 말씀하셨다.
2 “이스라엘 자손 가운데서 사람이 나 짐승이나 첫태생은 다 거룩히 구별하여 바쳐라. 이것은 내 것이다.”
3 그래서 모세는 백성들에게 이렇게 말하였다. “여러분은 종살이하던 땅 이집트에서 나온 이 날을 기념하십시오. 여호와께서는 큰 능력으로 여러분을 인도해 내셨습니다. 그러니 여러분은 누룩 넣은 빵을 먹어서는 안 됩니다.
4-5 여호와께서 여러분을 가나안족, 헷족, 아모리족, 히위족, 여부스족의 땅, 곧 여러분에게 주시겠다고 여러분의 조상들에게 약속하신 기름지고 비옥한 땅으로 인도하시거든 이 달에 여러분이 탈출해 나온 날을 기념하십시오.
6 여러분은 7일 동안 누룩 넣지 않은 빵을 먹고 7일째 되는 날에는 여호와께 축제를 드려야 합니다.
7 7일 동안 여러분은 줄곧 누룩을 넣지 않은 빵만 먹어야 하며 누룩이나 누룩 넣은 빵을 여러분의 야영지 안에 두어서는 안 됩니다.
8 그 날에 여러분은 자녀들에게 이런 의식을 갖게 된 것은 여러분이 이집트를 떠나올 때 여호와께서 여러분을 위해 행하신 일 때문이라고 설명하십시오.
9 [a]이렇게 함으로써 여러분은 이 기념일을 항상 기억하고 여호와의 말씀을 명심하게 될 것입니다. 여호와께서는 여러분을 큰 능력으로 이집트에서 인도해 내셨습니다.
10 그러므로 매년 정한 때에 여러분은 이 명절을 지켜야 합니다.
11 “여호와께서 여러분과 여러분의 조상들에게 약속하신 대로 여러분을 가나안 사람의 땅으로 인도하여 그 땅을 여러분에게 주시거든
12 여러분은 사람이나 짐승의 첫태생을 구별하여 여호와께 바치십시오. 처음 난 짐승의 수컷은 다 여호와의 것입니다.
13 그러나 나귀의 첫 새끼는 어린 양으로 대신 바치십시오. 만일 어린 양으로 대신 바치고 싶지 않으면 여러분은 그 나귀의 목을 꺾어야 합니다. 그리고 여러분의 아들 가운데 장남에 대해서는 [b]몸값을 지불하고 다시 사야 합니다.
14 앞으로 여러분의 아들이 무엇 때문에 이렇게 하느냐고 물으면 여러분은 이렇게 대답하십시오. ‘여호와께서는 우리를 큰 능력으로 종살이하던 이집트에서 인도해 내셨다.
15 그때 바로가 완강하게 거절하며 우리를 보내 주지 않았으므로 여호와께서 사람이나 짐승을 가리지 않고 이집트의 첫태생을 모조리 죽이셨다. 그래서 우리가 처음 난 짐승의 수컷은 모두 여호와께 바치고 우리 장남에 대해서는 다 몸값을 치르고 있다.
16 이렇게 함으로써 우리는 여호와께서 큰 능력으로 우리를 이집트에서 인도해 내신 그 날을 항상 기억하게 된단다.’ ”
구름 기둥과 불 기둥
17 바로가 백성들을 보냈을 때 하나님은 블레셋 사람의 땅을 거쳐가는 것이 가까운데도 그들을 그 길로 인도하지 않으셨다. 이것은 그들이 전쟁을 보면 마음이 변해 이집트로 되돌아갈 것이라고 생각하셨기 때문이었다.
18 그래서 하나님은 백성들을 홍해의 광야 길로 돌아가게 하셨다. 그리고 이스라엘 백성들은 이집트에서 나올 때 군 대열로 지어 나왔다.
19 모세는 요셉의 유골을 가지고 나왔는데 이것은 요셉이 이스라엘 자손들에게 맹세까지 시키면서 “하나님이 너희를 구출하시면 너희는 내 유골을 여기서 가지고 나가거라” 하였기 때문이었다.
20 이스라엘 백성은 숙곳을 떠나 광야 끝에 있는 에담에 천막을 쳤다.
21 여호와께서 낮에는 구름 기둥으로 그들을 인도하시고 밤에는 불 기둥으로 그들의 길을 비추셔서 밤낮 나아갈 수 있게 하셨으므로
22 낮에는 구름 기둥, 밤에는 불 기둥이 백성들 앞에서 떠나지 않았다.
