Therefore it shall be a sign unto thee upon thine hand and a
remembrance between thine eyes, that the LORD's law may be in thy
mouth. For with a strong hand the LORD brought thee out of Egypt,
see thou keep therefore this ordinance in his season from year to
year. Moreover when the LORD hath brought thee into the land of
the Cananites, as he hath sworn unto thee and to thy fathers, and
hath given it thee, then thou shalt appoint unto the LORD all that
openeth the matrice, and all the firstborn among the beasts which
thou hast if they be males. And all the firstborn of the asses,
thou shalt redeem with a sheep: if thou redeem him not, then break
his neck. But all the firstborn among thy children shalt thou buy
out. And when thy son asketh thee in time to come saying: what is
this? thou shalt say unto him: with a mighty hand and LORD brought
us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. And when Pharao was
loth to let us go, the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of
Egypt: as well the firstborn of men as of beasts. And therefore I
sacrifice unto the LORD all the males that open the matrice, but
all the firstborn of my children I must redeem. And this shall be
as a token in thine hand, and as a thing hanged up between thine
eyes: because the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand.
