^2 (A)Sanctify unto me all the firstborn: that is, every one that first openeth the womb among the children of Israel, as well of man as of beast: for it is mine.

³ ¶ Then Moses said unto the people, ^(B)Remember this day in the which ye came out of Egypt, out of the ^[a]house of ^[b]bondage: for by a mighty hand the Lord brought you out from thence: therefore no leavened bread shall be ^[c]eaten.

⁴ This day come ye out in the month of ^[d]Abib.

⁵ ¶ Now when the Lord hath brought thee into the land of the Canaanites, and Hittites, and Amorites, and Hivites, and Jebusites, (which he sware unto thy fathers, that he would give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey) then thou shalt keep this service in this month.

⁶ Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread, and the ^[e]seventh day shall be the feast of the Lord.

⁷ Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days, and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, nor yet leaven be seen with thee in all thy quarters.

⁸ ¶ And thou shalt show thy son ^[f]in that day, saying, This is done, because of that which the Lord did unto me, when I came out of Egypt.

⁹ And it shall be a sign unto thee ^[g]upon thine hand, and for a remembrance between thine eyes, that the Law of the Lord may be in thy mouth: for by a strong hand the Lord brought thee out of Egypt.

¹⁰ Keep therefore this ordinance in his season appointed from year to year.

¹¹ ¶ And when the Lord shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,

^12 (C)Then shalt thou set apart unto the Lord all that first openeth the womb: also everything that first doth open the womb, and cometh forth of thy beast: the males shall be the Lord’s.

^19 (A)Every male that first openeth the womb, shall be mine: also all the firstborn of thy flock shall be reckoned mine, both of beeves and sheep.
