1. And the Lord spoke unto Moses, saying,
2. Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the sons of Israel, both of man and of beast; for it is mine.
3. And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of slavery; for the Lord has brought you out of here with a strong hand; therefore, ye shall not eat with leaven.
4. This day ye came out in the month Abib.
5. And when the Lord shall have brought thee into the land of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, which he swore unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt do this service in this month.
6. Thou shalt eat without leaven for seven days, and the seventh day shall be a feast unto the Lord.
7. Bread without leaven shall be eaten the seven days; and nothing leavened shall be seen with thee, neither shall there be any leaven in all thy borders.
8. And thou shalt tell thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the Lord did unto me when he brought me out of Egypt.
9. And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thy hand and for a memorial before thine eyes, that the Lord’s law may be in thy mouth; for with a strong hand the Lord has brought thee out of Egypt.
