Exodus 13 (WEBP)
[1] Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
[2] “Sanctify to me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of animal. It is mine.”
[3] Moses said to the people, “Remember this day, in which you came out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Yahweh brought you out from this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.
[4] Today you go out in the month Abib.
[5] It shall be, when Yahweh brings you into the land of the Canaanite, and the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.
[6] Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to Yahweh.
[7] Unleavened bread shall be eaten throughout the seven days; and no leavened bread shall be seen with you. No yeast shall be seen with you, within all your borders.
[8] You shall tell your son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of that which Yahweh did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
[9] It shall be for a sign to you on your hand, and for a memorial between your eyes, that Yahweh’s law may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand Yahweh has brought you out of Egypt.
[10] You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season from year to year.
[11] “It shall be, when Yahweh brings you into the land of the Canaanite, as he swore to you and to your fathers, and will give it to you,
[12] that you shall set apart to Yahweh all that opens the womb, and every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have. The males shall be Yahweh’s.
[13] Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck; and you shall redeem all the firstborn of man among your sons.
[14] It shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall tell him, ‘By strength of hand Yahweh brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage.
[15] When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, Yahweh killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of livestock. Therefore I sacrifice to Yahweh all that opens the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’
[16] It shall be for a sign on your hand, and for symbols between your eyes; for by strength of hand Yahweh brought us out of Egypt.”
[17] When Pharaoh had let the people go, God didn’t lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, “Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and they return to Egypt”;
[18] but God led the people around by the way of the wilderness by the Red Sea; and the children of Israel went up armed out of the land of Egypt.
[19] Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had made the children of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely visit you, and you shall carry up my bones away from here with you.”
[20] They took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.
[21] Yahweh went before them by day in a pillar of cloud, to lead them on their way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light, that they might go by day and by night:
[22] the pillar of cloud by day, and the pillar of fire by night, didn’t depart from before the people.

Exodus 13 (KJVS)
[1] And the LORD H3068 spake H1696 (8762) unto Moses H4872, saying H559 (8800),
[2] Sanctify H6942 (8761) unto me all the firstborn H1060, whatsoever openeth H6363 the womb H7358 among the children H1121 of Israel H3478, [both] of man H120 and of beast H929: it [is] mine.
[3] And Moses H4872 said H559 (8799) unto the people H5971, Remember H2142 (8800) this H2088 day H3117, in which ye came out H3318 (8804) from Egypt H4714, out of the house H1004 of bondage H5650; for by strength H2392 of hand H3027 the LORD H3068 brought you out H3318 (8689) from this [place]: there shall no leavened bread H2557 be eaten H398 (8735).
[4] This day H3117 came ye out H3318 (8802) in the month H2320 Abib H24.
[5] And it shall be when the LORD H3068 shall bring H935 (8686) thee into the land H776 of the Canaanites H3669, and the Hittites H2850, and the Amorites H567, and the Hivites H2340, and the Jebusites H2983, which he sware H7650 (8738) unto thy fathers H1 to give H5414 (8800) thee, a land H776 flowing H2100 (8802) with milk H2461 and honey H1706, that thou shalt keep H5647 (8804) this service H5656 in this month H2320.
[6] Seven H7651 days H3117 thou shalt eat H398 (8799) unleavened bread H4682, and in the seventh H7637 day H3117 [shall be] a feast H2282 to the LORD H3068.
[7] Unleavened bread H4682 shall be eaten H398 (8735) seven H7651 days H3117; and there shall no leavened bread H2557 be seen H7200 (8735) with thee, neither shall there be leaven H7603 seen H7200 (8735) with thee in all thy quarters H1366.
[8] And thou shalt shew H5046 (8689) thy son H1121 in that day H3117, saying H559 (8800), [This is done] because of H5668 that H2088 [which] the LORD H3068 did H6213 (8804) unto me when I came forth H3318 (8800) out of Egypt H4714.
[9] And it shall be for a sign H226 unto thee upon thine hand H3027, and for a memorial H2146 between thine eyes H5869, that the LORD’S H3068 law H8451 may be in thy mouth H6310: for with a strong H2389 hand H3027 hath the LORD H3068 brought thee out H3318 (8689) of Egypt H4714.
[10] Thou shalt therefore keep H8104 (8804) this ordinance H2708 in his season H4150 from year H3117 to year H3117.
[11] And it shall be when the LORD H3068 shall bring H935 (8686) thee into the land H776 of the Canaanites H3669, as he sware H7650 (8738) unto thee and to thy fathers H1, and shall give H5414 (8804) it thee,
[12] That thou shalt set apart H5674 (8689) unto the LORD H3068 all that openeth H6363 the matrix H7358, and every firstling H6363 that cometh H7698 of a beast H929 which thou hast; the males H2145 [shall be] the LORD’S H3068.
[13] And every firstling H6363 of an ass H2543 thou shalt redeem H6299 (8799) with a lamb H7716; and if thou wilt not redeem H6299 (8799) it, then thou shalt break his neck H6202 (8804): and all the firstborn H1060 of man H120 among thy children H1121 shalt thou redeem H6299 (8799).
[14] And it shall be when thy son H1121 asketh H7592 (8799) thee in time to come H4279, saying H559 (8800), What [is] this? that thou shalt say H559 (8804) unto him, By strength H2392 of hand H3027 the LORD H3068 brought us out H3318 (8689) from Egypt H4714, from the house H1004 of bondage H5650:
[15] And it came to pass, when Pharaoh H6547 would hardly H7185 (8689) let us go H7971 (8763), that the LORD H3068 slew H2026 (8799) all the firstborn H1060 in the land H776 of Egypt H4714, both the firstborn H1060 of man H120, and the firstborn H1060 of beast H929: therefore I sacrifice H2076 (8802) to the LORD H3068 all that openeth H6363 the matrix H7358, being males H2145; but all the firstborn H1060 of my children H1121 I redeem H6299 (8799).
[16] And it shall be for a token H226 upon thine hand H3027, and for frontlets H2903 between thine eyes H5869: for by strength H2392 of hand H3027 the LORD H3068 brought us forth H3318 (8689) out of Egypt H4714.
[17] And it came to pass, when Pharaoh H6547 had let the people H5971 go H7971 (8763), that God H430 led H5148 (8804) them not [through] the way H1870 of the land H776 of the Philistines H6430, although H3588 that [was] near H7138; for God H430 said H559 (8804), Lest peradventure the people H5971 repent H5162 (8735) when they see H7200 (8800) war H4421, and they return H7725 (8804) to Egypt H4714:
[18] But God H430 led H5437 the people H5971 about H5437 (8686), [through] the way H1870 of the wilderness H4057 of the Red H5488 sea H3220: and the children H1121 of Israel H3478 went up H5927 (8804) harnessed H2571 out of the land H776 of Egypt H4714.
[19] And Moses H4872 took H3947 (8799) the bones H6106 of Joseph H3130 with him: for he had straitly H7650 (8687) sworn H7650 (8689) the children H1121 of Israel H3478, saying H559 (8800), God H430 will surely H6485 (8800) visit H6485 (8799) you; and ye shall carry up H5927 my bones H6106 away H5927 (8689) hence with you.
[20] And they took their journey H5265 (8799) from Succoth H5523, and encamped H2583 (8799) in Etham H864, in the edge H7097 of the wilderness H4057.
[21] And the LORD H3068 went H1980 (8802) before H6440 them by day H3119 in a pillar H5982 of a cloud H6051, to lead H5148 (8687) them the way H1870; and by night H3915 in a pillar H5982 of fire H784, to give them light H215 (8687); to go H3212 (8800) by day H3119 and night H3915:
[22] He took not away H4185 (8686) the pillar H5982 of the cloud H6051 by day H3119, nor the pillar H5982 of fire H784 by night H3915, [from] before H6440 the people H5971.
Young’s Literal Translation
Exodus 13 (YLT)
[1] And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,
[2] ‘Sanctify to Me every first-born, opening any womb among the sons of Israel, among man and among beast; it is Mine.’
[3] And Moses saith unto the people, ‘Remember this day in which ye have gone out from Egypt, from the house of servants, for by strength of hand hath Jehovah brought you out from this, and any thing fermented is not eaten;
[4] To-day ye are going out, in the month of Abib.
[5] ‘And it hath been, when Jehovah bringeth thee in unto the land of the Canaanite, and of the Hittite, and of the Amorite, and of the Hivite, and of the Jebusite, which He hath sworn to thy fathers to give to thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou hast done this service in this month.
[6] ‘Seven days thou dost eat unleavened things, and in the seventh day is a feast to Jehovah;
[7] unleavened things are eaten the seven days, and any thing fermented is not seen with thee; yea, leaven is not seen with thee in all thy border.
[8] ‘And thou hast declared to thy son in that day, saying, ‘It is because of what Jehovah did to me, in my going out from Egypt,
[9] and it hath been to thee for a sign on thy hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, so that the law of Jehovah is in thy mouth, for by a strong hand hath Jehovah brought thee out from Egypt;
[10] and thou hast kept this statute at its appointed season from days to days.
[11] ‘And it hath been, when Jehovah bringeth thee in unto the land of the Canaanite, as He hath sworn to thee and to thy fathers, and hath given it to thee,
[12] that thou hast caused every one opening a womb to pass over to Jehovah, and every firstling-the increase of beasts which thou hast: the males are Jehovah’s.
[13] ‘And every firstling of an ass thou dost ransom with a lamb, and if thou dost not ransom it, then thou hast beheaded it: and every first-born of man among thy sons thou dost ransom.
[14] ‘And it hath been, when thy son asketh thee hereafter, saying, What is this? that thou hast said unto him, By strength of hand hath Jehovah brought us out from Egypt, from a house of servants;
[15] yea, it cometh to pass, when Pharaoh hath been pained to send us away, that Jehovah doth slay every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of man even unto the first-born of beast; therefore I am sacrificing to Jehovah all opening a womb who are males, and every first-born of my sons I ransom;
[16] and it hath been for a token on thy hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes, for by strength of hand hath Jehovah brought us out of Egypt.’
[17] And it cometh to pass in Pharaoh’s sending the people away, that God hath not led them the way of the land of the Philistines, for it is near; for God said, ‘Lest the people repent in their seeing war, and have turned back towards Egypt;’
[18] and God turneth round the people the way of the wilderness of the Red Sea, and by fifties have the sons of Israel gone up from the land of Egypt.
[19] And Moses taketh the bones of Joseph with him, for he certainly caused the sons of Israel to swear, saying, ‘God doth certainly inspect you, and ye have brought up my bones from this with you.’
[20] And they journey from Succoth, and encamp in Etham at the extremity of the wilderness,
[21] and Jehovah is going before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them in the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give light to them, to go by day and by night;
[22] He removeth not the pillar of the cloud by day, and the pillar of the fire by night, from before the people.
