Exodus 13:3-10

Evangelical Heritage Version

Remember this day when you came out of Egypt, where you were slaves.^[a] For by the strength of his hand the Lord brought you out from there. Nothing with leaven^[b] may be eaten. ⁴ Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving. ⁵ So when the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites—the land he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you are to perform this ceremony during this month: ⁶ Seven days you must eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there is to be a festival to the Lord. ⁷ Unleavened bread must be eaten throughout the seven days. No leavened bread is to be seen among you. No yeast is to be seen among you, anywhere in your entire territory. ⁸ On that day you are to explain this to your son, “It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.” ⁹ This will serve as a sign for you on your wrist and a reminder on your forehead^[c] so that the law of the Lord may be in your mouth. For with a mighty hand the Lord brought you out of Egypt. ¹⁰ You must keep this regulation at its appointed time from year to year.
