The Feast of Unleavened Bread
3 And Moses said to the people, “(A)Remember this day in which you went out from Egypt, from the house of [a]slavery; for (B)by a strong hand Yahweh brought you out from this place. (C)And nothing leavened shall be eaten. 4 This day, in the (D)month of Abib, you are going out. 5 And it shall be when Yahweh (E)brings you to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which (F)He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, (G)that you shall [b]do this service in this month. 6 For (H)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 (I)nothing leavened shall be seen [c]among you, nor shall any leaven be seen [d]among you in all your borders. 8 (J)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 (K)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 (L)a strong hand Yahweh brought you out of Egypt. 10 Therefore, you shall (M)keep this statute at its appointed time from [e]year to year.

Exodus 13:3-10
Holman Christian Standard Bible
3 Then Moses said to the people, “Remember this day when you came out of Egypt, out of the place of slavery, for the Lord brought you out of here by the strength of His hand. Nothing leavened may be eaten.(A) 4 Today, in the month of Abib,[a](B) you are leaving. 5 When the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites,[b] which He swore to your fathers that He would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey,(C) you must carry out this ritual in this month.(D) 6 For seven days you must eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there is to be a festival to the Lord. 7 Unleavened bread is to be eaten for those seven days. Nothing leavened may be found among you, and no yeast may be found among you in all your territory. 8 On that day explain to your son, ‘This is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’(E) 9 Let it serve as a sign for you on your hand and as a reminder on your forehead,[c](F) so that the Lord’s instruction may be in your mouth; for the Lord brought you out of Egypt with a strong hand. 10 Keep this statute at its appointed time from year to year.
