New King James Version NKJV
New International Version NIV
1 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
1
The LORD said to Moses,
2 "Consecrate to Me all the firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine."
2
“Consecrate to me every firstborn male. The first offspring of every womb among the Israelites belongs to me, whether human or animal.”
3 And Moses said to the people: "Remember this day in which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the Lord brought you out of this place. No leavened bread shall be eaten.
3
Then Moses said to the people, “Commemorate this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery, because the LORD brought you out of it with a mighty hand. Eat nothing containing yeast.
4 On this day you are going out, in the month Abib.
4
Today, in the month of Aviv, you are leaving.
5 And it shall be, when the Lord brings you into the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall keep this service in this month.
5
When the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites and Jebusites—the land he swore to your ancestors to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey—you are to observe this ceremony in this month:
6 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the Lord.
6
For seven days eat bread made without yeast and on the seventh day hold a festival to the LORD.
7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days. And no leavened bread shall be seen among you, nor shall leaven be seen among you in all your quarters.
7
Eat unleavened bread during those seven days; nothing with yeast in it is to be seen among you, nor shall any yeast be seen anywhere within your borders.
8 And you shall tell your son in that day, saying, 'This is done because of what the Lord did for me when I came up from Egypt.'
8
On that day tell your son, ‘I do this because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.’
