6 aSeven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the Lord.  
7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days. And ano leavened bread shall be seen among you, nor shall leaven be seen among you in all your quarters.  
8 And you shall atell your son in that day, saying, ‘This is done because of what the Lord did for me when I came up from Egypt.’

11 “And it shall be, when the Lord abrings you into the land of the bCanaanites, as He swore to you and your fathers, and gives it to you,  
12 athat you shall set apart to the Lord all that open the womb, that is, every firstborn that comes from an animal which you have; the males shall be the Lord’s.  
13 But aevery firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. And all the firstborn of man among your sons byou shall redeem.  
14 aSo it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall say to him, b‘By strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.  
15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that athe Lord killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all males that open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’  
16 It shall be as aa sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt.”  

The Wilderness Way

17 Then it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, “Lest perhaps the people achange their minds when they see war, and breturn to Egypt.”  
18 So God aled the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up in orderly ranks out of the land of Egypt.
