ἡνίκα δὲ ἐσκλήρυνεν φαραω ἐξαποστεῖλαι ἡμᾶς ἀπέκτεινεν πᾶν πρωτότοκον ἐν γῇ αἰγύπτῳ ἀπὸ πρωτοτόκων ἀνθρώπων ἕως πρωτοτόκων κτηνῶν διὰ τοῦτο ἐγὼ θύω τῷ κυρίῳ πᾶν διανοῖγον μήτραν τὰ ἀρσενικά καὶ πᾶν πρωτότοκον τῶν υἱῶν μου λυτρώσομαι
Exodus 13:15
Arcana Coelestia #8057
8057. That thou shalt serve this service in this month. That this signifies unceasing worship of the Lord on account of liberation, is evident from the signification of “service” as being worship (see n. 7934); and from the signification of “month,” as being the end of a former state and the beginning of a new one; and of “the month Abib,” as being the beginning from which are all following states (n. 8053); consequently by “month” is signified also what is unceasing.
