15 Bo – Day 7
Sh’moth 13:1-16
And YHWH spoke to Mosheh, saying, “Set apart to Me all the first-born, the one opening the womb among the children of Yisra’ěl, among man and among beast, it is Mine.”
And Mosheh said to the people, “Remember this day in which you went out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of slavery. For by strength of hand YHWH brought you out of this place, and whatever is leavened shall not be eaten.
“Today you are going out, in the new moon Aḇiḇ.
“And it shall be, when YHWH brings you into the land of the Kena‛anites, and the Ḥittites, and the Amorites, and the Ḥiwwites, and the Yeḇusites, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this new moon.
“Seven days you eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day is a festival to YHWH.
“Unleavened bread is to be eaten the seven days, and whatever is leavened is not to be seen with you, and leaven is not to be seen with you within all your border.
“And you shall inform your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of what YHWH did for me when I came up from Mitsrayim.’
“And it shall be as a sign to you on your hand and as a reminder between your eyes, that the Torah of YHWH is to be in your mouth, for with a strong hand YHWH has brought you out of Mitsrayim.
“And you shall guard this law at its appointed time from year to year.
“And it shall be, when YHWH brings you into the land of the Kena‛anites, as He swore to you and your fathers, and gives it to you, that you shall give over to YHWH every one opening the womb, and every first-born that comes from your livestock, the males belong to YHWH.
“But every first-born of a donkey you are to ransom with a lamb. And if you do not ransom it, then you shall break its neck. And every first-born of man among your sons you are to ransom.
“And it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ then you shall say to him, ‘By strength of hand YHWH brought us out of Mitsrayim, out of the house of bondage.
‘And it came to be, when Pharaoh was too hardened to let us go, that YHWH killed every first-born in the land of Mitsrayim, both the first-born of man and the first-born of beast. Therefore I am sacrifice to YHWH every male that opens the womb, but every first-born of my sons I ransom.’
“And it shall be as a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand YHWH brought us out of Mitsrayim.”
