THE MESSAGE
God spoke to Moses, saying, "Consecrate every firstborn to me— the first one to come from the womb among the Israelites, whether person or animal, is mine."
New American Standard Bible (1995)
Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Contextual Overview

1Then the LORD said to Moses,2"Consecrate to Me every firstborn male. The firstborn from every womb among the Israelites belongs to Me, both of man and beast." 3So Moses told the people, "Remember this day, the day you came out of Egypt, out of the house of slavery; for the LORD brought you out of it by the strength of His hand. And nothing leavened shall be eaten. 4Today, in the month of Abib, you are leaving. 5And when the LORD brings you into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Hivites, and Jebusites-the land He swore to your fathers that He would give you, a land flowing with milk and honey-you shall keep this service in this month. 6For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the LORD. 7Unleavened bread shall be eaten during those seven days. Nothing leavened may be found among you, nor shall yeast be found anywhere within your borders. 8And on that day you are to explain to your son, 'This is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.' 9It shall be a sign for you on your hand and a reminder on your forehead that the law of the LORD is to be on your lips. For with a mighty hand the LORD brought you out of Egypt. 10Therefore you shall keep this ordinance at the appointed time year after year.

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.

NOTES ON CHAP. XIII

Verse Exodus 13:1. The Lord spake unto Moses — The commands in this chapter appear to have been given at Succoth, on the same day in which they left Egypt.
