1 Then the LORD {YHWH} said to Moses (drawn out), 2 “Consecrate to Me every firstborn male 3 So Moses (drawn out) told the people, “Remember this day, the day you⁺ came out of Egypt (land of bondage), out of the house of slavery; for the LORD {YHWH} brought you⁺ out of it by the strength of His hand. And nothing leavened shall be eaten. 4 Today, in the month of Abib (March / April), you⁺ are leaving. 5 And when the LORD {YHWH} brings you into the land of the Canaanites (merchants), Hittites, Amorites (sayers), Hivites (villagers), and Jebusites (Jerusalemites)—the land He swore to your fathers that He would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you shall keep this service in this month. 6 For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the LORD {YHWH}. 7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten during those seven days. Nothing leavened may be found among you, nor shall leaven be found anywhere within your borders. 8 And on that day you are to explain to your son, ‘This is because of what the LORD {YHWH} did for me when I came out of Egypt (land of bondage).’ 9 It shall be a sign for you on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the Law of the LORD {YHWH} is to be on your lips. For with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out of Egypt (land of bondage). 10 Therefore you shall keep this statute at the appointed time year after year. Exodus 13:1-10, Berean Annotated Bible.
