출애굽기(Exodus) 13장

 

 

1. The LORD said to Moses,

 

2. "Consecrate to me every firstborn male.

The first offspring of every womb among

the Israelites belongs to me, whether man

or animal."

 

3. Then Moses said to the people,

"Commemorate this day, the day you came

out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery,

because the LORD brought you out of

it with a mighty hand. Eat nothing

containing yeast.

 

4. Today, in the month of Abib, you are

leaving.

 

5. When the LORD brings you into the

land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites,

Hivites and Jebusites--the land he swore

to your forefathers to give you, a land

flowing with milk and honey--you are to

observe this ceremony in this month:

 

6. For seven days eat bread made without

yeast and on the seventh day hold a

festival to the LORD.

 

7. Eat unleavened bread during those

seven days; nothing with yeast in it is to

be seen among you, nor shall any yeast

be seen anywhere within your borders.

 

8. On that day tell your son, 'I do this

because of what the LORD did for me

when I came out of Egypt.'

 

9. This observance will be for you like a

sign on your hand and a reminder on your

forehead that the law of the LORD is to be

on your lips. For the LORD brought you

out of Egypt with his mighty hand.

 

10. You must keep this ordinance at the

appointed time year after year.

 

 

11 "After the LORD brings you into the

land of the Canaanites and gives it to you,

as he promised on oath to you and your

forefathers,

 

12. you are to give over to the LORD the

first offspring of every womb. All the

firstborn males of your livestock belong

to the LORD.

 

13. Redeem with a lamb every firstborn

donkey, but if you do not redeem it, break

its neck. Redeem every firstborn among

your sons.

 

 

14 "In days to come, when your son asks

you, 'What does this mean?' say to him,

'With a mighty hand the LORD brought us

out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.

 

15. When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to

let us go, the LORD killed every firstborn

in Egypt, both man and animal. This is why

I sacrifice to the LORD the first male

offspring of every womb and redeem

each of my firstborn sons.'

 

16. And it will be like a sign on your hand

and a symbol on your forehead that the

LORD brought us out of Egypt with his

mighty hand."

 

17. When Pharaoh let the people go, God

did not lead them on the road through

the Philistine country, though that was

shorter. For God said, "If they face war,

they might change their minds and return

to Egypt."

 

18. So God led the people around by the

desert road toward the Red Sea. The

Israelites went up out of Egypt armed

for battle.

 

19. Moses took the bones of Joseph with

him because Joseph had made the sons

of Israel swear an oath. He had said,

"God will surely come to your aid, and then

you must carry my bones up with you from

this place."

 

20. After leaving Succoth they camped

at Etham on the edge of the desert.

 

21. By day the LORD went ahead of them

in a pillar of cloud to guide them on their

way and by night in a pillar of fire to give

them light, so that they could travel by

day or night.

 

22. Neither the pillar of cloud by day nor

the pillar of fire by night left its place in

front of the people.
