And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out
from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the
LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be
eaten. And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land
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 unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a
feast to the LORD. 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 the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of Egypt. And
it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial
between thine eyes, that the LORD'S law may be in thy mouth: for with
a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt. Thou shalt
therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.
[Sidenote: Exodus 13]
And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the
Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give
it thee, that thou shalt set apart unto the LORD every firstling that
cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD'S. And
every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb: and all the
firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.
CHAPTER 35
THE OVERWHELMING OF THE EGYPTIANS
AND it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led
them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although
that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when
they see war, and they return to Egypt: but God led the people about,
through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of
Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt. And Moses took the
bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of
Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my
bones away hence with you.
[Sidenote: Exodus 14]
And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in
the edge of the wilderness. And the LORD 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.
