1
And it came to pass that all of Israel journeyed out from Egypt, and they were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.
2
And a mixed multitude went up also with them, and flocks, and possessions, even their numerous herds.
3
Now the sojourning of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.
4
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of YHVHa went out from the land of Egypt.
5
¶ And it came to pass that Moses and Zipporah said unto the people: Remember this day in which ye came out from Egypt, from out of the house of bondage;
6
For by strength of the hand YHVH were you brought out from that place; there shall no leavened bread be eaten;
7
And it shall be that when YHVH shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which He sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.
8
Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to YHVH.
9
Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee; neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
10
And thou shalt show thy son and thy daughters in that day, saying: This is done because of that which YHVH did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt.
11
And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the Toraha of YHVH may be in thy mouth; for with a strong hand hath YHVH brought thee out of Egypt.
12
Thou shalt, therefore, keep this ordinance in his season from year to year for all time.
13
¶ And it shall come to pass that when YHVH shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as He sware unto thee and thy fathers amd thy mothers, and shall give it thee,
14
That thou shalt set apart unto YHVH every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast belong to YHVH.
15
And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break its neck; and all the firstborn of mankind among thy children shalt thou redeem;
16
For thus sayeth YHVH: Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among Israel, both of mankind and of beast; it is mine.
17
And it shall be when thy son or thy daughter should ask thee in time to come, saying: What is this?
18
That thou shalt say unto them: By strength of hand YHVH brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage.
19
And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that YHVH slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of mankind and the firstborn of beast;
20
Therefore, I sacrifice to YHVH all the firstborn of my children, that I redeem.
21
And it shall be for a tokena upon thine hand, and for frontletsb between thine eyes; for by strength of hand YHVH brought us forth out of Egypt.
22
¶ And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that Ha’Elohima led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near;
23
For Ha’Elohim said: Lest peradventure the people retreat when they see war and they return to Egypt;
24
But Elohim led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Sea; and Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.
