1. The Lord spoke to Moses:
2. “Consecrate every firstborn male to Me, the firstborn from every womb among the Israelites, both man and domestic animal; it is Mine.”
3. Then Moses said to the people, “Remember this day when you came out of Egypt, out of the place of slavery, for the Lord brought you out of here by the strength of His hand. Nothing leavened may be eaten.
4. Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving.
5. When the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which He swore to your fathers that He would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, you must carry out this ritual in this month.
6. For seven days you must eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there is to be a festival to the Lord.
7. Unleavened bread is to be eaten for those seven days. Nothing leavened may be found among you, and no yeast may be found among you in all your territory.
8. On that day explain to your son, ‘This is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
