1. And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2. "Sanctify to me every firstborn which opens the womb among the sons of Israel, as much of men as of cattle. For they are all mine."
3. And Moses said to the people: "Remember this day, on which you were taken away from Egypt and from the house of servitude. For with a strong hand the Lord has led you away from this place. Thus, you shall eat no leavened bread.
4. Today, you go forth in the month of new grain.
5. And when the Lord has brought you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to your fathers that he would give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey, you will celebrate this manner of sacred rites in this month.
6. For seven days, you shall feed on unleavened bread. And on the seventh day, it will be the solemnity of the Lord.
