1. The Lord said to Moses,
|
1. And the LORD H3068 spoke H1696 unto H413 Moses H4872 , saying H559 ,
|
|
2. "Set apart to Me every first-born male. The first-born male among the people of Israel, and the first-born male animal are Mine."
|
2. Sanctify H6942 unto me all H3605 the firstborn H1060 , whatsoever H3605 openeth H6363 the womb H7358 among the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , both of man H120 and of beast H929 : it H1931 is mine.
|
|
3. Then Moses said to the people, "Remember this day in which you went out of Egypt, out of the land where you were made to stay and work. For the Lord brought you out of this place by a powerful hand. No bread made with yeast will be eaten.
|
3. And Moses H4872 said H559 unto H413 the people H5971 , Remember H2142 H853 this H2088 day H3117 , in which H834 ye came out H3318 from Egypt H4480 H4714 , out of the house H4480 H1004 of bondage H5650 ; for H3588 by strength H2392 of hand H3027 the LORD H3068 brought you out H3318 H853 from this H4480 H2088 place : there shall no H3808 leavened bread H2557 be eaten H398 .
|
|
4. This day you are about to go out, in the month of Abib.
|
4. This day H3117 came ye out H3318 H859 in the month H2320 Abib H24 .
|
|
5. And the Lord will bring you to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, which He promised to your fathers to give you. It is a land flowing with milk and honey. There you will do this act of worship in this month.
|
5. And it shall be H1961 when H3588 the LORD H3068 shall bring H935 thee into H413 the land H776 of the Canaanites H3669 , and the Hittites H2850 , and the Amorites H567 , and the Hivites H2340 , and the Jebusites H2983 , which H834 he swore H7650 unto thy fathers H1 to give H5414 thee , a land H776 flowing H2100 with milk H2461 and honey H1706 , that thou shalt keep H5647 H853 this H2063 service H5656 in this H2088 month H2320 .
|
|
6. For seven days you will eat bread without yeast. On the seventh day there will be a special supper to the Lord.
|
6. Seven H7651 days H3117 thou shalt eat H398 unleavened bread H4682 , and in the seventh H7637 day H3117 shall be a feast H2282 to the LORD H3068 .
|
|
7. Bread without yeast will be eaten for seven days. Nothing made with yeast will be seen among you. No yeast will be seen among you in all your country.
|
7. Unleavened bread H4682 shall be eaten H398 H853 seven H7651 days H3117 ; and there shall no H3808 leavened bread H2557 be seen H7200 with thee, neither H3808 shall there be leaven H7603 seen H7200 with thee in all H3605 thy quarters H1366 .
|
|
8. You will say to your son on that day, 'It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.'
|
8. And thou shalt show H5046 thy son H1121 in that H1931 day H3117 , saying H559 , This is done because H5668 of that H2088 which the LORD H3068 did H6213 unto me when I came forth H3318 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 .
|
|
9. It will be a special mark on your hand and on your forehead to make people remember, that the Law of the Lord is to be in your mouth. For the Lord brought you out of Egypt with a powerful hand.
|
9. And it shall be H1961 for a sign H226 unto thee upon H5921 thine hand H3027 , and for a memorial H2146 between H996 thine eyes H5869 , that H4616 the LORD H3068 's law H8451 may be H1961 in thy mouth H6310 : for H3588 with a strong H2389 hand H3027 hath the LORD H3068 brought thee out H3318 of Egypt H4480 H4714 .
|
|
10. So you must keep this Law at the time given for it from year to year.
|
10. Thou shalt therefore keep H8104 H853 this H2063 ordinance H2708 in his season H4150 from year H4480 H3117 to year H3117 .
|
|
11. "The Lord will bring you to the land of the Canaanite. He will give it to you as He promised you and your fathers.
|
11. And it shall be H1961 when H3588 the LORD H3068 shall bring H935 thee into H413 the land H776 of the Canaanites H3669 , as H834 he swore H7650 unto thee and to thy fathers H1 , and shall give H5414 it thee,
|
|
12. There you must give to the Lord the first male to be born. And all the first male animals born belong to the Lord.
|
12. That thou shalt set apart H5674 unto the LORD H3068 all H3605 that openeth H6363 the matrix H7358 , and every H3605 firstling H6363 that cometh H7698 of a beast H929 which H834 thou hast H1961 ; the males H2145 shall be the LORD H3068 's.
|
|
13. But you may buy every first-born donkey by giving a lamb for it. But if you do not buy it, then you must break its neck. You must buy with a gift of money every first-born male among your sons.
|
13. And every H3605 firstling H6363 of an ass H2543 thou shalt redeem H6299 with a lamb H7716 ; and if H518 thou wilt not H3808 redeem H6299 it , then thou shalt break his neck H6202 : and all H3605 the firstborn H1060 of man H120 among thy children H1121 shalt thou redeem H6299 .
|
|
14. And when the time comes when your son asks you, 'What does this mean?' then say to him, 'With a powerful hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, from the land where we were servants.
|
14. And it shall be H1961 when H3588 thy son H1121 asketh H7592 thee in time to come H4279 , saying H559 , What H4100 is this H2063 ? that thou shalt say H559 unto H413 him , By strength H2392 of hand H3027 the LORD H3068 brought us out H3318 from Egypt H4480 H4714 , from the house H4480 H1004 of bondage H5650 :
|
|
15. When Pharaoh would not let us go, the Lord killed every first-born in the land of Egypt, both the first-born of man and of animal. So I give to the Lord every first male animal to be born. But I buy with a gift of money every first-born of my sons.'
|
15. And it came to pass H1961 , when H3588 Pharaoh H6547 would hardly H7185 let us go H7971 , that the LORD H3068 slew H2026 all H3605 the firstborn H1060 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714 , both the firstborn H4480 H1060 of man H120 , and the firstborn H1060 of beast H929 : therefore H5921 H3651 I H589 sacrifice H2076 to the LORD H3068 all H3605 that openeth H6363 the matrix H7358 , being males H2145 ; but all H3605 the firstborn H1060 of my children H1121 I redeem H6299 .
|
|
16. So it will be like a special mark on your hand and on your forehead. For the Lord brought us out of Egypt with a powerful hand."
|
16. And it shall be H1961 for a token H226 upon H5921 thine hand H3027 , and for frontlets H2903 between H996 thine eyes H5869 : for H3588 by strength H2392 of hand H3027 the LORD H3068 brought us forth H3318 out of Egypt H4480 H4714 .
|
|
17. When Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, even when that was nearer. For God said, "The people may change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt."
|
17. And it came to pass H1961 , when Pharaoh H6547 had let H853 the people H5971 go H7971 , that God H430 led H5148 them not H3808 through the way H1870 of the land H776 of the Philistines H6430 , although H3588 that H1931 was near H7138 ; for H3588 God H430 said H559 , Lest peradventure H6435 the people H5971 repent H5162 when they see H7200 war H4421 , and they return H7725 to Egypt H4714 :
|
|
18. So God led the people through the place where no people live to get to the Red Sea. The people of Israel went out of the land of Egypt ready for war.
|
18. But God H430 led the people about H5437 H853 H5971 , through the way H1870 of the wilderness H4057 of the Red H5488 sea H3220 : and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 went up H5927 harnessed H2571 out of the land H4480 H776 of Egypt H4714 .
|
|
19. Moses took the bones of Joseph with him because Joseph had made the people of Israel promise. He had said, "For sure God will keep you and you will carry my bones with you from here."
|
19. And Moses H4872 took H3947 H853 the bones H6106 of Joseph H3130 with H5973 him: for H3588 he had straitly sworn H7650 H7650 H853 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , saying H559 , God H430 will surely visit H6485 H6485 you ; and ye shall carry up my bones away H5927 H853 H6106 hence H4480 H2088 with H854 you.
|
|
20. Then they left Succoth and set up their tents at Etham, beside the desert.
|
20. And they took their journey H5265 from Succoth H4480 H5523 , and encamped H2583 in Etham H864 , in the edge H7097 of the wilderness H4057 .
|
|
21. The Lord went before them, in a pillar of cloud during the day to lead them on the way, and in a pillar of fire during the night to give them light. So they could travel day and night.
|
21. And the LORD H3068 went H1980 before H6440 them by day H3119 in a pillar H5982 of a cloud H6051 , to lead H5148 them the way H1870 ; and by night H3915 in a pillar H5982 of fire H784 , to give them light H215 ; to go H1980 by day H3119 and night H3915 :
|
|
22. The pillar of cloud during the day and the pillar of fire during the night did not leave the people.
|
22. He took not away H4185 H3808 the pillar H5982 of the cloud H6051 by day H3119 , nor the pillar H5982 of fire H784 by night H3915 , from before H6440 the people H5971 .
