Exodus 13:13-15

Revised Geneva Translation

¹³ “But you shall redeem every first foal of a donkey with a lamb. And if you do not redeem him, then you shall break his neck. Likewise, the firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem.

¹⁴ “And when your son shall ask you tomorrow, saying, ‘What is this?’ You shall then say to him, ‘With a mighty hand, the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.

¹⁵ ‘For when Pharaoh was hard-hearted against our departing, the LORD then killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of man to the firstborn of beast. Therefore, I sacrifice to the LORD all the males who first open the womb. But all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’
