Exodus 13 — OURB

13Verse 1Adonai spoke to Moses [Drawn out], saying,^{Verse 2}“Sanctify to me all the firstborn,⁺whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel [God prevails], both of man and of animal. It is mine.”^{Verse 3+}Moses [Drawn out] said to the people, “Remember this day, in which you came out of Egypt [Abode of slavery], out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Adonai brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.^{Verse 4}Today you go out in the first month Aviv ·Ripening grain (of a new crop), 1·.^{Verse 5}It shall be, when Adonai shall bring you into the land of the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], and the Hittite [Descendant of Trembling fear], and the Amorite [Descendants of Talkers], and the Hivite [Wicked], and the Jebusite [Descendants of Thresher], which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this aboda ·service· in this month.^{Verse 6}Seven days you shall eat matzah ·unleavened bread·, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to Adonai.”^{Verse 7}Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days;⁺and no leavened bread shall be seen with you. No yeast shall be seen with you, within all your borders.^{Verse 8+}You shall tell your son in that day, saying, “It is because of that which Adonai did for me when I came out of Egypt [Abode of slavery].”^{Verse 9}It shall be for a sign to you on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that Adonai’s Torah ·Teaching· may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand Adonai has brought you out of Egypt [Abode of slavery].^{Verse 10}You shall therefore keep this regulation in its season from year to year.^{Verse 11}“It shall be, when Adonai shall bring you into the land of the Canaanite [Descendant of Humbled], as he swore to you and to your fathers, and shall give it you,^{Verse 12+}that you shall set apart to Adonai all that opens the womb, and every firstborn⁺which you have that comes from an animal. The males shall be Adonai’s.^{Verse 13+}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 you shall redeem all the firstborn of man among your sons. (Maftir ·Conclusion·)^{Verse 14}It shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall tell him, ‘By strength of hand Adonai brought us out from Egypt [Abode of slavery], from the house of bondage.^{Verse 15}When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, Adonai killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery], both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of animal. Therefore I sacrifice to Adonai all that opens the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my sons⁺I redeem.’^{Verse 16}It shall be for a sign on your hand, and for symbols between your eyes: for by strength of hand Adonai brought us out of Egypt [Abode of slavery].”

^{Verse 17}When Pharaoh had let the people go, God didn’t lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines [To roll in dust (As an insult)], although that was near; for God said, “Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and they teshuvah ·completely return· to Egypt [Abode of slavery];”^{Verse 18}but God led the people around by the way of the wilderness by the Sea of Suf [Reed Sea]; and the children of Israel [God prevails] went up armed out of the land of Egypt [Abode of slavery].^{Verse 19}Moses [Drawn out] took the bones of Joseph [May he add] with him, for he had made the children of Israel [God prevails] swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones away from here with you.”^{Verse 20}They took their journey from Sukkot, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.^{Verse 21}Adonai went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them on their way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, that they might go by day and by night:^{Verse 22}the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, didn’t depart from before the people.
