Dual Panel1The Lord <03068> spoke <01696> to <0413> Moses <04872>:
2“Set apart <06942> to me every <03605> firstborn male <01060>– the first offspring <06363> of every <03605> womb <07358> among the Israelites <03478> <01121>, whether human <0120> or animal <0929>; it is mine <01931>.”
3Moses <04872> said <0559> to <0413> the people <05971>, “Remember <02142> this <02088> day <03117> on which <0834> you came out <03318> from Egypt <04714>, from the place <01004> where you were enslaved <05650>, for <03588> the Lord <03068> brought <03318> you out <03318> of there with a mighty <02392> hand <03027>– and no <03808> bread made with yeast <02557> may be eaten <0398>.
4On this day <03117>, in the month <02320> of Abib <024>, you <0859> are going out <03318>.
5When <01961> the Lord <03068> brings <0935> you to <0413> the land <0776> of the Canaanites <03669>, Hittites <02850>, Amorites <0567>, Hivites <02340>, and Jebusites <02983>, which <0834> he swore <07650> to your fathers <01> to give <05414> you, a land <0776> flowing <02100> with milk <02461> and honey <01706>, then you will keep <05647> this <02088> ceremony <05656> in this <02063> month <02320>.
6For seven <07651> days <03117> you must eat <0398> bread made without yeast <04682>, and on the seventh <07637> day <03117> there is to be a festival <02282> to the Lord <03068>.
7Bread made without yeast <04682> must be eaten <0398> for seven <07651> days <03117>; no <03808> bread made with yeast <02557> shall be seen <07200> among you, and you must have no <03808> yeast <07603> among you within any <03605> of your borders <01366>.
8You are to tell <05046> your son <01121> on that <01931> day <03117>, ‘It is because <05668> of what <02088> the Lord <03068> did <06213> for me when I came out <03318> of Egypt <04714>.’
9It will be <01961> a sign <0226> for you on <05921> your hand <03027> and a memorial <02146> on <0996> your forehead <05869>, so that <04616> the law <08451> of the Lord <03068> may be <01961> in your mouth <06310>, for <03588> with a mighty <02389> hand <03027> the Lord <03068> brought <03318> you out <03318> of Egypt <04714>.
10So you must keep <08104> this <02063> ordinance <02708> at its appointed time <04150> from year <03117> to year <03117>.
11When <03588> the Lord <03068> brings <0935> you into <0413> the land <0776> of the Canaanites <03669>, as <0834> he swore <07650> to you and to your fathers <01>, and gives <05414> it to you,
12then you must give over <05674> to the Lord <03068> the first offspring <06363> of every <03605> womb <07358>. Every <03605> firstling <06363> of a beast <0929> that <0834> you have <01961>– the males <02145> will be the Lord’s <03068>.
13Every <03605> firstling <06363> of a donkey <02543> you must redeem <06299> with a lamb <07716>, and if <0518> you do not <03808> redeem <06299> it, then you must break its neck <06202>. Every <03605> firstborn <01060> of your sons <01121> you must redeem <06299>.
14In the future <04279>, when <03588> your son <01121> asks <07592> you ‘What <04100> is this <02063>?’ you are to tell <0559> him, ‘With <0413> a mighty <02392> hand <03027> the Lord <03068> brought <03318> us out <03318> from Egypt <04714>, from the land <01004> of slavery <05650>.
15When <03588> Pharaoh <06547> stubbornly refused <07185> to release <07971> us, the Lord <03068> killed <02026> all <03605> the firstborn <01060> in the land <0776> of Egypt <04714>, from the firstborn <01060> of people <0120> to <05704> the firstborn <01060> of animals <0929>. That is why <03651> I <0589> am sacrificing <02076> to the Lord <03068> the first male <02145> offspring <06363> of every <03605> womb <07358>, but all <03605> my firstborn <01060> sons <01121> I redeem <06299>.’
16It will be <01961> for a sign <0226> on <05921> your hand <03027> and for frontlets <02903> on your forehead <05869> <0996>, for <03588> with a mighty <02392> hand <03027> the Lord <03068> brought <03318> us out <03318> of Egypt <04714>.”
17When <01961> Pharaoh <06547> released <07971> the people <05971>, God <0430> did not <03808> lead <05148> them by the way <01870> to the land <0776> of the Philistines <06430>, although <03588> that <01931> was nearby <07138>, for <03588> God <0430> said <0559>, “Lest <06435> the people <05971> change <05162> their minds <05162> and return <07725> to Egypt <04714> when they experience <07200> war <04421>.”
18So God <0430> brought <05437> the people <05971> around <05437> by the way <01870> of the desert <04057> to the Red <05488> Sea <03220>, and the Israelites <03478> <01121> went up <05927> from the land <0776> of Egypt <04714> prepared for battle <02571>.
19Moses <04872> took <03947> the bones <06106> of Joseph <03130> with <05973> him, for <03588> Joseph had made <07650> <07650> the Israelites <03478> <01121> solemnly swear <07650> <07650>, “God <0430> will surely attend <06485> <06485> to you, and you will carry <05927> my bones <06106> up <05927> from this <02088> place with <0854> you.”
20They journeyed <05265> from Sukkoth <05523> and camped <02583> in Etham <0864>, on the edge <07097> of the desert <04057>.
21Now the Lord <03068> was going <01980> before <06440> them by day <03119> in a pillar <05982> of cloud <06051> to lead <05148> them in the way <01870>, and by night <03915> in a pillar <05982> of fire <0784> to give <0215> them light <0215>, so that they could travel <01980> day <03119> or night <03915>.
22He did not <03808> remove <04185> the pillar <05982> of cloud <06051> by day <03119> nor the pillar <05982> of fire <0784> by night <03915> from before <06440> the people <05971>.
