5 And when the Lord shall have brought thee into the land of the Chanaanite, and the Hethite, and the Amorrhite, and the Hevite, and the Jebusite, which he swore to thy fathers that he would give thee, a land that floweth with milk and honey, thou shalt celebrate this manner of sacred rites in this month.

8089. 'And all the firstborn of my sons I redeem' means that the truths of faith are not to be ascribed to the Lord, but forms of the good of faith. This is clear from the explanation above in 8080, where similar words occur.
