9. So it will be like a sign on your hand and a reminder between your eyes, so that the Torah of Adonai may be in your mouth. For with a strong hand Adonai has brought you out of Egypt.
10. You are to keep this ordinance as a moed from year to year.
11. “Now when Adonai brings you into the land of the Canaanite, as He swore to you and your fathers and gives it you,
12. you are to set apart to Adonai every firstborn from the womb, and every firstborn male animal you have will be Adonai’s.
13. Every firstborn donkey you are to redeem with a lamb, and if you do not redeem it, then you are to break its neck. But you are to redeem every firstborn male among your sons.
14. “So when your son asks you in times to come, ‘What is this?’ say to him, ‘By a strong hand Adonai brought us out from Egypt, the house of bondage,
15. and when Pharaoh refused to let us go, Adonai slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both men and animals. So I sacrifice to Adonai all firstborn males, but I redeem the firstborn of my sons.’
