Exodus 13:1-5 Good News Bible (GNB)

1. The Lord said to Moses,

2. “Dedicate all the firstborn males to me, for every firstborn male Israelite and every firstborn male animal belongs to me.”

3. Moses said to the people, “Remember this day — the day on which you left Egypt, the place where you were slaves. This is the day the Lord brought you out by his great power. No leavened bread is to be eaten.

4. You are leaving Egypt on this day in the first month, the month of Abib.

5. The Lord solemnly promised your ancestors to give you the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. When he brings you into that rich and fertile land, you must celebrate this festival in the first month of every year.
