Contextual Overview

¹ The Lord said to Moses, ² "Dedicate to me the first-born son of every family and the first-born males of your flocks and herds. These belong to me." ³Moses said to the people: Remember this day in the month of Abib. It is the day when the Lord 's mighty power rescued you from Egypt, where you were slaves. Do not eat anything made with yeast. ⁵ The Lord promised your ancestors that he would bring you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites. It is a land rich with milk and honey. Each year during the month of Abib, celebrate these events in the following way: ⁶ For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast, and on the seventh day you are to celebrate a festival in honor of the Lord . ⁷ During those seven days, you must not eat anything made with yeast or even have yeast anywhere near your homes. ⁸ Then on the seventh day you must explain to your children that you do this because the Lord brought you out of Egypt. ⁹ This celebration will be like wearing a sign on your hand or on your forehead, because then you will pass on to others the teaching of the Lord , whose mighty power brought you out of Egypt. ¹⁰ Celebrate this festival each year at the same time.
