Exodus 13:11-15

The Feast of Unleavened Bread

¹¹ "When the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites, _c as he swore to you and your fathers, and shall give it to you, ¹² _d you shall set apart to the Lord all that first opens the womb. All the firstborn of your animals that are males shall be the Lord's. ¹³ _e Every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb, or if you will not redeem it you shall break its neck. Every _f firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem. ¹⁴ _g And when in time to come your son asks you, 'What does this mean?' you shall say to him, _h 'By a strong hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, from the house of _i slavery. ¹⁵ For when Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the _j Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of animals. Therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all the males that first open the womb, but _k all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.'
