Shamut 13

And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 spake unto Mushah, saying,

"Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Yashar'al, both of man and of beast: it is mine."

And Mushah said unto the people, "Remember this day, in which ye came out from Mitzrayim, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten."

"This day came ye out in the month Abib."

"And it shall be when 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall bring thee into the land of the Kena'anites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Yebusites, 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."

"Seven days thou shalt eat mattzot, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄."

"Mattzot 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."

"And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, 'This is done because of that which 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 did unto me when I came forth out of Mitzrayim.'"

"And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄's Turah may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 brought thee out of Mitzrayim."

"Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year."

"And it shall be when 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 shall bring thee into the land of the Kena'anites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,"

"That thou shalt set apart unto 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄's."

"And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem."

"And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, 'What is this?' that thou shalt say unto him, 'By strength of hand 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 brought us out from Mitzrayim, from the house of bondage:'"

" 'And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly let us go, that 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 slew all the firstborn in the land of Mitzrayim, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.' "

" 'And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 brought us forth out of Mitzrayim.' "

And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that Alahiym led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for Alahiym said, "Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Mitzrayim:"

But Alahiym led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Yashar'al went up harnessed out of the land of Mitzrayim.

And Mushah took the bones of Yusaph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Yashar'al, saying, "Alahiym will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you."

And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.

And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
