Gill's Notes on the Bible

And the Lord spake unto Moses,.... When he and the Israelites were at Succoth:

saying; as follows.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

CHAPTER XIII

God establishes the law concerning the first-born, and

commands that all such, both of man and beast, should be

sanctified unto him, 1, 2.

Orders them to remember the day in which they were brought

out of Egypt, when they should be brought to the land of

Canaan; and to keep this service in the month Abib, 3-5.

Repeats the command concerning the leavened bread, 6, 7,

and orders them to teach their children the cause of it, 8,

and to keep strictly in remembrance that it was by the might

of God alone they had been delivered from Egypt, 9.

Shows that the consecration of the first-born, both of man

and beast, should take place when they should be settled in

Canaan, 10-12.

The first-born of man and beast to be redeemed, 13.

The reason of this also to be shown to their children, 14, 15.

Frontlets or phylacteries for the hands and forehead commanded,

16.

And the people are not led directly to the promised land, but

about through the wilderness; and the reason assigned, 17, 18.

Moses takes the bones of Joseph with him, 19.

They journey from Succoth and come to Etham, 20.

And the Lord goes before them by day in a pillar of cloud, and by

night in a pillar of fire, 21,

which miracle is regularly continued both by day and night, 22.
