Exodus 13:16 (NLT) New Living Translation

1 Then the LORD said to Moses,
2 "Dedicate to me every firstborn among the Israelites. The first offspring to be born, of both humans and animals, belongs to me."
3 So Moses said to the people, "This is a day to remember forever-- the day you left Egypt, the place of your slavery. Today the LORD has brought you out by the power of his mighty hand. (Remember, eat no food containing yeast.)
4 On this day in early spring, in the month of Abib, you have been set free.
5 You must celebrate this event in this month each year after the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites. (He swore to your ancestors that he would give you this land-- a land flowing with milk and honey.)
6 For seven days the bread you eat must be made without yeast. Then on the seventh day, celebrate a feast to the LORD.
7 Eat bread without yeast during those seven days. In fact, there must be no yeast bread or any yeast at all found within the borders of your land during this time.
8 "On the seventh day you must explain to your children, 'I am celebrating what the LORD did for me when I left Egypt.'
9 This annual festival will be a visible sign to you, like a mark branded on your hand or your forehead. Let it remind you always to recite this teaching of the LORD: 'With a strong hand, the LORD rescued you from Egypt.'
10 So observe the decree of this festival at the appointed time each year.
11 "This is what you must do when the LORD fulfills the promise he swore to you and to your ancestors. When he gives you the land where the Canaanites now live,
12 you must present all firstborn sons and firstborn male animals to the LORD, for they belong to him.
13 A firstborn donkey may be bought back from the LORD by presenting a lamb or young goat in its place. But if you do not buy it back, you must break its neck. However, you must buy back every firstborn son.
14 "And in the future, your children will ask you, 'What does all this mean?' Then you will tell them, 'With the power of his mighty hand, the LORD brought us out of Egypt, the place of our slavery.
15 Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, so the LORD killed all the firstborn males throughout the land of Egypt, both people and animals. That is why I now sacrifice all the firstborn males to the LORD-- except that the firstborn sons are always bought back.'
16 This ceremony will be like a mark branded on your hand or your forehead. It is a reminder that the power of the LORD's mighty hand brought us out of Egypt."
17 When Pharaoh finally let the people go, God did not lead them along the main road that runs through Philistine territory, even though that was the shortest route to the Promised Land. God said, "If the people are faced with a battle, they might change their minds and return to Egypt."
18 So God led them in a roundabout way through the wilderness toward the Red Sea. Thus the Israelites left Egypt like an army ready for battle.
19 Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for Joseph had made the sons of Israel swear to do this. He said, "God will certainly come to help you. When he does, you must take my bones with you from this place."
20 The Israelites left Succoth and camped at Etham on the edge of the wilderness.
21 The LORD went ahead of them. He guided them during the day with a pillar of cloud, and he provided light at night with a pillar of fire. This allowed them to travel by day or by night.
22 And the LORD did not remove the pillar of cloud or pillar of fire from its place in front of the people.

8 And thou shalt show H5046 thy son H1121 in that H1931 D-PPRO-3MS day H3117 B-AMS , saying H559 L-VQFC , This is done because H5668 B-NMS of that H2088 DPRO which the LORD H3068 EDS did H6213 VQQ3MS unto me when I came forth H3318 B-VQFC-1MS out of Egypt H4714 .

11 And it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS when H3588 CONJ the LORD H3068 EDS shall bring H935 thee into H413 PREP the land H776 GFS of the Canaanites H3669 , as H834 K-RPRO he swore H7650 unto thee and to thy fathers H1 , and shall give H5414 it thee ,
12 That thou shalt set apart H5674 unto the LORD H3068 all H3605 CMS that openeth H6363 the matrix H7358 NMS , and every H3605 W-CMS firstling H6363 that cometh H7698 of a beast H929 NFS which H834 RPRO thou hast H1961 VQY3MS ; the males H2145 shall be the LORD H3068 \'s .
13 And every H3605 W-CMS firstling H6363 of an ass H2543 thou shalt redeem H6299 with a lamb H7716 ; and if H518 W-PART thou wilt not H3808 NADV redeem H6299 it , then thou shalt break his neck H6202 : and all H3605 W-CMS the firstborn H1060 CMS of man H120 NMS among thy children H1121 shalt thou redeem H6299 .
14 And it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS when H3588 CONJ thy son H1121 asketh H7592 thee in time to come H4279 NMS , saying H559 L-VQFC , What H4100 IPRO is this H2063 DPRO-3FS ? that thou shalt say H559 unto H413 PREP-3MS him , By strength H2392 of hand H3027 NFS the LORD H3068 EDS brought us out H3318 from Egypt H4714 M-TFS , from the house H1004 of bondage H5650 :
15 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when H3588 CONJ Pharaoh H6547 EMS would hardly H7185 VHQ3MS let us go H7971 , that the LORD H3068 NAME-4MS slew H2026 all H3605 NMS the firstborn H1060 CMS in the land H776 B-GFS of Egypt H4714 EFS , both the firstborn H1060 of man H120 NMS , and the firstborn H1060 CMS of beast H929 NFS : therefore H3651 ADV I H589 PPRO-1MS sacrifice H2076 to the LORD H3068 L-EDS all H3605 NMS that openeth H6363 the matrix H7358 NMS , being males H2145 ; but all H3605 NMS the firstborn H1060 CMS of my children H1121 I redeem H6299 .
16 And it shall be H1961 W-VQQ3MS for a token H226 L-CMS upon H5921 PREP thine hand H3027 , and for frontlets H2903 between H996 PREP thine eyes H5869 CMD-2MS : for H3588 CONJ by strength H2392 of hand H3027 NFS the LORD H3068 EDS brought us forth H3318 out of Egypt H4714 .
17 And it came to pass H1961 W-VQY3MS , when Pharaoh H6547 EMS had let the people H5971 go H7971 , that God H430 EDP led H5148 them not H3808 W-NPAR through the way H1870 NMS of the land H776 GFS of the Philistines H6430 TMS , although H3588 CONJ that H1931 PPRO-3MS was near H7138 AMS ; for H3588 CONJ God H430 EDP said H559 VQQ3MS , Lest peradventure H6435 the people H5971 repent H5162 when they see H7200 war H4421 NFS , and they return H7725 to Egypt H4714 :
18 But God H430 EDP led the people about H5437 , through the way H1870 NMS of the wilderness H4057 D-NMS of the Red H5488 NMS sea H3220 : and the children H1121 CMP of Israel H3478 went up H5927 harnessed H2571 out of the land H776 M-NFS of Egypt H4714 .
19 And Moses H4872 took H3947 W-VQY3MS the bones H6106 of Joseph H3130 with H5973 PREP-3MS him : for H3588 CONJ he had straitly sworn H7650 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 , saying H559 L-VQFC , God H430 EDP will surely visit H6485 you ; and ye shall carry up my bones away H5927 W-VHQ2MP hence H2088 M-DPRO with H854 you .
20 And they took their journey H5265 from Succoth H5523 , and encamped H2583 W-VQY3MP in Etham H864 , in the edge H7097 of the wilderness H4057 D-NMS .
