| '''V2''' The idea of sanctify<Ref name="qadash">{{06942}}</Ref> the first born<Ref name="bekowr">{{01060}}</Ref> is ''to be set apart'' or ''to Consecrate'' or ''to dedicate''. <Br>'''Dedicate to the [[altar]] of God for the practice of [[Pure Religion]].'''<Br> Consecrate both "'''man and of beast'''". The common word for ''beast'' is ''chay'' ChetYod<Ref name="chay">{{02416}}</Ref> but here we see the word ''behemah'' BeitHeyMemHey<Ref name="behemah">{{0929}}</Ref> but in this text we see [[Vav]][[Beit]]BeitHeyMemHey or ūḇabbəhêmāh; (וּבַבְּהֵמָ֑ה) which contains a [[double Beit]].
|-
| V3 The normal word for ''bread'' is ‎ ''lechem'' LamedChetMem (לֶחֶם)<Ref name="lechem -n">{{03899}}</Ref> But this verse is warning you to '''Remember that God's hand brought you out of the house of [[bondage]]<Ref name="aḇaḏim">{{05650}}</Ref> of [[Egypt]]''' where there was ''cruelty'' and ''violence'', so their shall be '''"no leavened bread"''', Chamets<Ref name="chamets-n">{{02557}}</Ref> <02557>. Since the word ChetMemTzadik<Ref name="chamets">{{02556}}</Ref> can refer to '''''no cruelty or grievousness''''' it would seem that the God that Moses wants the people to serve one another rather than oppress one another. 
|-
| V5 They had learned to work together and not depend upon the authority of the Pharaoh to take care of one another during that process that brought them out and now God wants them to "keep this service"<Ref name="abodah">{{05656}}</Ref> when they come to this new land.
|-
| V6 to help them remember they can have this regular practice of 7 days of unleaven bread followed by a  feast. The gathering and sharing of meals could help them remember so they never go back to the ways of Egypt which will see them and many others do and cause<Ref>[[Deuteronomy 17]]:16  But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way.</Ref> people to do many times.
|-
| V7 "in all thy quarters" GimelBeit''Vav''Lamed<Ref name="gebul">{{01366}}</Ref> but we see in the text GimelBeitLamed[[Kaf]] and is almost always referring to the borders of a nation and not your ''quarters''. <Br>'''So is there ''cruelty or grievousness'' within the borders of your nation?'''
|-
| V8 And we are to pass this message onto the next generation by this ''memorial'' by telling them this story and explaining what the [[leaven]] really represents.
|-
| V9 Moses wants the people to perform an annual ritual as a [[Exodus_13#For_a_memorial|memorial]] to help them remember this principle of [[care]] without cruelty([[leaven]]) through [[faith]] and use the ritual to teach this [[care]] by [[faith]] to their next generations. 
|-
|  This [[Exodus_13#For_a_memorial|memorial]] is to help you bring the ''[[Torah]]<Ref name="Torah">{{08451}}</Ref> into your mouth''. The word Torah is usually TavVavReishHey but here we see for the first time TavVavReish[[Tav]].<Ref name="torat"> We see this form of ''[[Torah#The_Law_of_faith|Torat]]'' translated ''law'' in the sense of a [[sacrifice]] in true [[faith]] rather than the [[force]] used by [[Pharaoh]], [[Nimrod]], and the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] and of course their modern counter parts [[FDR]] and [[LBJ]] accepted by the [[Modern Church]] excusing their [[covetous practices]]. </Ref> This verse is about an ancient form of '''[[meditation]]''' and prayer to help you understand how to be taught in your spirit like Moses was guided.
|-
| The ritual is not the [[worship]] but that would include the people getting the ''cruelty or grievousness'' out of their house and the yeast is just a ''symbol''. To get the yeast out but not the ''cruelty or grievousness'' is not only ''unmooring the '''meaning from the message''''' but it is '''[[worship]]ping the ''symbol'' which is [[idolatry]]'''. '''If the ''cruelty and grievousness'' remain in the [[heart and mind|hearts and minds]]''' of the people which we saw in [[Egypt]] under the [[tyranny]] of the [[Pharaoh]] they will return to the [[bondage of Egypt]].
|-
| 10V "keep<Ref name="shamar">{{08104}}</Ref> this [[ordinance]] <Ref name="choqqah">{{02708}}</Ref> in his season from year to year." "Keep" here is not the word for "obey" but means ''observe or preserve or beware of''. And "[[ordinance]]" is not really a law<Ref name="torat"> We see this form of ''[[Torah#The_Law_of_faith|Torat]]'' translated ''law'' in the sense of a [[sacrifice]] in true [[faith]] rather than the [[force]] used by [[Pharaoh]], [[Nimrod]], and the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] and of course their modern counter parts [[FDR]] and [[LBJ]] accepted by the [[Modern Church]] excusing their [[covetous practices]]. </Ref> or even a [[statute]] as we think of today. But it may be written down as a ''prescribed task or portion''. Your observance determines the portion to be expected in a cause and effect universe.
|- 
|  V13 "thou shalt '''redeem'''<Ref name="padah">{{06299}}</Ref> with a lamb" The word ''redeem'' appears 3 times in this one verse and is normally פָדָה‎ padah PeiDaletHey but here we see תִּפְדֶּ֣ה tip̄deh TavPeiDelathHey. We also see in that verse "then you shall break its neck" from the word ‘araph AyinReishPei (עָרַף‎) said to mean "to break the neck"<Ref name="araph">{{06202}}</Ref> from waărap̄tōw [[Vav]]AyinReishPei[[Tav]][[Vav]] (וַעֲרַפְתּ֑וֹ)
|-
| V15 "that the LORD slew<Ref name="harag">{{02026}}</Ref>  all the firstborn in the land of Egypt" The LORD is [[YHVHY]] who is ''the existing one'' already in creation.
|-
| V16 This ritual is done in hope of  the law<Ref name="torat"> We see this form of ''[[Torah#The_Law_of_faith|Torat]]'' translated ''law'' in the sense of a [[sacrifice]] in true [[faith]] rather than the [[force]] used by [[Pharaoh]], [[Nimrod]], and the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] and of course their modern counter parts [[FDR]] and [[LBJ]] accepted by the [[Modern Church]] excusing their [[covetous practices]]. </Ref> of true sacrifice through [[charity]] rather than the cruelty of [[force]] being written on our [[heart and mind]]. Again this use of the terms "frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD" is again a reference to a self examination of our own mind and motivations through [[meditation]].
|-
|V18 The word ''harness'' is (חָמֻשׁ‎) chamush<Ref name="chamush">{{02571}}</Ref> but appears as waḥămušîm (וַחֲמֻשִׁ֛ים) with an additional Vav Yod Mem	suggesting and "orderly ranks" even as a military associated wit ''fives and fifty''.
|-
|V19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph" <Ref>Genesis 50:24  And Joseph said unto his brethren, I die: and God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land unto the land which he sware to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.</Ref>

== Consecration of the Firstborn ==

1 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

2 Sanctify<Ref name="qadash">{{06942}}</Ref> unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast<Ref name="behemah">{{0929}}</Ref>: it is mine.

== The Feast of Unleavened Bread ==

3 And [[Moses]] said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage<Ref name="aḇaḏim">{{05650}}</Ref>; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread<Ref name="chamets-n">{{02557}}</Ref> be eaten<Ref name="akal">{{0398}}</Ref>.

4 This day came ye out in the month Abib.

5 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee, a land flowing with milk and honey, that thou shalt keep this service in this month.

6 Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.

=== No cruelty in your borders===

7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.<Ref name="gebul">{{01366}}</Ref>

8 And thou shalt shew thy son in that day, saying, This is done because of that which the LORD did unto me when I came forth out of [[Egypt]].

=== For a memorial ===

9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial<Ref name="memorial">ūləzikkārō·wn  VavLamedZayinKafReishVavNun <Br>{{02146}}</Ref> between thine eyes<Ref name="Pei">{{05869}}</Ref>, that the LORD'S law<Ref name="towrah">{{08451}}</Ref> may be in thy mouth<Ref name="mouth">{{06310}}</Ref>: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt.

10 Thou shalt therefore keep<Ref name="shamar">{{08104}}</Ref> this [[ordinance]]<Ref name="choqqah">{{02708}}</Ref> in his season from year to year.

11 And it shall be when the LORD shall bring thee into the land of the Canaanites, as he sware unto thee and to thy fathers, and shall give it thee,

=== Redeem ===

12 That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast<Ref name="behemah">{{0929}}</Ref>  which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD'S.

13 And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem<Ref name="padah">{{06299}}</Ref> with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem<Ref name="padah">{{06299}}</Ref> it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem<Ref name="padah">{{06299}}</Ref>.

14 And it shall be when thy son asketh thee in time to come, saying, What is this? that thou shalt say unto him, By strength of hand the LORD brought us out from Egypt, from the house of bondage<Ref name="aḇaḏim">{{05650}}</Ref>:

15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly(<span style="background:green; color:white;">qashah</span>)<Ref name="harden">{{07185}}</Ref>  let us go, that the LORD slew all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of beast: therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that openeth the matrix, being males; but all the firstborn of my children I redeem.

16 And it shall be for a token<Ref name="owth">{{0226}}</Ref>   upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of [[Egypt]].

== Pillars of Cloud and Fire ==

17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God led them not through the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, Lest peradventure the people repent when they see war, and they return to Egypt:

18 But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed<Ref name="chamush">{{02571}}</Ref> out of the land of Egypt.

19 And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him: for he had straitly sworn the children of Israel, saying, God will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.

20 And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.

21 And the LORD went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night:

22 He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
