1. And Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
2. “Consecrate to me every firstborn, the first offspring of every womb among the Israelites, among humans and among domestic animals; it belongs to me.”
3. And Moses said to the people, “Remember this day when you went out from Egypt, from a house of slaves, because with strength of hand Yahweh brought you out from here, and food with yeast will not be eaten.
4. Today you are going out in the month of Abib.
5. And when Yahweh brings you to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Hivites and the Jebusites—which he swore to your ancestors to give to you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you will perform this service in this month.
6. Seven days you will eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day will be a feast for Yahweh.
7. Unleavened bread will be eaten the seven days; food with yeast will not be seen for you; and yeast will not be seen for you in all your territory.
8. And you shall tell your son on that day, saying, ‘This is because of what Yahweh did for me when I came out from Egypt.’
9. And it will be as a sign on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes so that the law of Yahweh will be in your mouth, that with a strong hand Yahweh brought you out from Egypt.
10. And you will keep this statute at its appointed time from year to year.
11. “And when Yahweh brings you to the land of the Canaanite, as he swore to you and to your ancestors, and he gives it to you,
12. you will hand over every first offspring of a womb to Yahweh, and every first offspring dropped by a domestic animal that will belong to you, the males will be for Yahweh.
