1 Jahve reče Mojsiju:

2 "Meni posvetite svakoga prvorođenca! Prvenci materina krila kod Izraelaca, i od ljudi i od životinja, meni pripadaju!"

3 A onda Mojsije reče narodu: "Sjećajte se ovoga dana u koji ste izbavljeni iz Egipta, iz kuće ropstva, jer vas Jahve izbavi odande svojom jakom mišicom. Ukvasani kruh neka se ne jede!

4 Ovoga dana mjeseca Abiba vaše je izbavljenje.

5 Stoga: kad te Jahve uvede u zemlju Kanaanaca, Hetita, Amorejaca, Hivijaca i Jebusejaca, za koju se zakleo tvojim precima da će ti je dati - zemlju kojom teče med i mlijeko - ovoga mjeseca obavi ovakav obred:

6 sedam dana jedi nekvasan kruh, a sedmoga dana neka se slavi svetkovina u čast Jahvi.

7 Sedam dana neka se jede nekvasan kruh; ukvasanog kruha neka ne bude kod tebe; i neka se nigdje ne vidi kvasac na tvome području.

8 Svome sinu toga dana objasni: to je za ono što mi je Jahve učinio kad sam se iz Egipta izbavio.

9 Neka ti bude kao znak na tvojoj ruci i kao opomena na tvome čelu: da Jahvin zakon bude uvijek na tvojim ustima. Jer te rukom jakom Jahve izbavio iz Egipta.

10 Ovaj propis vršite svake godine u određeno vrijeme."

11 "A kada te Jahve dovede u zemlju Kanaanaca - kako vam se zakle, tebi i tvojim ocima - i kada ti je preda,

12 ustupajte Jahvi prvorođence materinjega krila, a tako i sve prvine što ih tvoja stoka dade - svako muško pripada Jahvi!

13 Svaku prvinu magaradi otkupi janjetom ili jaretom. Ako je ne otkupiš, slomi joj vrat. A svakoga prvorođenca između svoje djece otkupi.

14 Kad te sin tvoj sutra zapita: Što znači to? - odgovori mu: Rukom jakom izvede nas Jahve iz Egipta, iz kuće ropstva.

15 Kako je faraon postao tvrdokoran pa nas nije htio pustiti, Jahve je poubijao sve prvorođence u zemlji egipatskoj: prvorođence ljudi i prvine stoke. Eto zato Jahvi žrtvujem svaku mušku prvinu materinjega krila, a svakoga prvorođenca od svojih sinova otkupljujem.

16 Neka ti to bude kao znak na tvojoj ruci i kao znamenje posred čela da nas je rukom jakom Jahve izbavio iz Egipta."

17 Kad je faraon dopustio da narod ode, Bog ih nije poveo prema filistejskoj zemlji, iako je onuda bilo najbliže. Bog je, naime, rekao: "Mogao bi se narod predomisliti i vratiti u Egipat kad vidi ratovanje."

18 Stoga Bog povede narod zaobilaznim putem, kroz pustinju prema Crvenome moru. Izraelci su napustili zemlju egipatsku naoružani od glave do pete.

19 Mojsije ponese sa sobom Josipove kosti. Jer Josip bijaše zakleo Izraelce riječima: "Bog će se zacijelo za vas zauzeti. Tada i moje kosti odavde ponesite sa sobom!"

20 Krenuvši iz Sukota, utabore se u Etamu, na kraju pustinje.

21 Jahve je išao pred njima, danju u stupu od oblaka da im put pokazuje, a noću u stupu od ognja da im svijetli. Tako su mogli putovati i danju i noću.

22 I nije ispred naroda nestajao stup od oblaka danju ni stup od ognja noću.

7946. Verses 29-34 And it happened at midnight, that Jehovah struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from Pharaoh's firstborn who was to sit on his throne even to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the dungeon, 1 [and all the firstborn of the beasts]. And Pharaoh rose that night, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was no house where there was not one dead. And he called Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise, go out from the midst of my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, in accordance with what you have spoken. Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have spoken, and go; and may you also bless me. And Egypt pressed the people, in a hurry to send them away from the land; for they said, We are all dying. And the people carried their dough before the yeast was added, their kneading bowls bound up in their clothes on their shoulder.

'And it happened at midnight' means a state of nothing but falsity arising from evil. 'That Jehovah struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt' means the damnation of faith separated from charity. 'From Pharaoh's firstborn who was to sit on his throne' means falsified truths of faith that occupy the first place. 'Even to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the dungeon' means falsified truths of faith that occupy the last place of all. 'And all the firstborn of the beasts' means adulterated good of faith. 'And Pharaoh rose that night, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians' means that when all the damned without exception were brought into a state of nothing but falsity arising from evil they felt a loathing and fear of those belonging to the spiritual Church. 'And there was a great cry in Egypt' means deep grief. 'For there was no house where there was not one dead' means because there was none who was not damned. 'And he called Moses and Aaron by night' means the afflux of truth from God in that state. 'And said, Rise, go out from the midst of my people' means that they should depart from them. 'Both you and the children of Israel' means together with their truth from God, and with truth that leads to good and truth which springs from good. 'Go, serve Jehovah' means in order to worship the Lord. 'In accordance with what you have spoken' means in accordance with their will. 'Take both your flocks and your herds' means interior forms and exterior forms of the good of charity. 'As you have spoken' means in accordance with their will. 'And go' means that they should altogether depart. 'And may you also bless me' means that they should intercede. 'And Egypt pressed the people, in a hurry to send them away from the land' means that because of their loathing and fear of them they were urging them to depart. 'For they said, We are all dying' means for the reason that hell was facing them. 'And the people carried their dough before the yeast was added' means the first state of truth from good, in which there is no falsity at all. 'Their kneading bowls bound up in their clothes' means delights that belong to affections and cling to truths. 'On their shoulder' means supported with all the power they had.
