13:1 1 The Lord spoke 2 to Moses: 13:2 “Set apart 3 to me every firstborn male – the first offspring of every womb 4 among the Israelites, whether human or animal; it is mine.” 5
13:11 When the Lord brings you 6 into the land of the Canaanites, 7 as he swore to you and to your fathers, and gives it 8 to you, 13:12 then you must give over 9 to the Lord the first offspring of every womb. 10 Every firstling 11 of a beast that you have 12 – the males will be the Lord’s. 13 13:13 Every firstling 14 of a donkey you must redeem 15 with a lamb, and if you do not redeem it, then you must break its neck. 16 Every firstborn of 17 your sons you must redeem.
13:14 18 In the future, 19 when your son asks you 20 ‘What is this?’ 21 you are to tell him, ‘With a mighty hand 22 the Lord brought us out from Egypt, from the land of slavery. 23 13:15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused 24 to release us, the Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of people to the firstborn of animals. 25 That is why I am sacrificing 26 to the Lord the first male offspring of every womb, but all my firstborn sons I redeem.’ 13:16 It will be for a sign on your hand and for frontlets 27 on your forehead, for with a mighty hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt.” 28
