The Law of the Firstborn
13:1 The Lord spoke to Moses :
13:2 “Set apart to me every firstborn male – the first offspring of every womb among the Israelites , whether human or animal ; it is mine .”
13:3 Moses said to the people , “Remember this day on which you came out from Egypt , from the place where you were enslaved , for the Lord brought you out of there with a mighty hand – and no bread made with yeast may be eaten .
13:4 On this day , in the month of Abib , you are going out .
13:5 When the Lord brings you to the land of the Canaanites , Hittites , Amorites , Hivites , and Jebusites , which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey , then you will keep this ceremony in this month .
13:6 For seven days you must eat bread made without yeast , and on the seventh day there is to be a festival to the Lord .
