Kuwekwa Wakfu Kwa Wazaliwa Wa Kwanza
1Bwana akamwambia Mose, 213:2 Kut 22:29; 34:20; Law 27:26; Hes 3:13; 8:17; 18:15; Kum 15:19; Neh 10:34; Lk 2:23“Niwekeeni wakfu kila mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume. Kila mtoto wa kwanza aliye kifungua tumbo miongoni mwa Waisraeli ni mali yangu, akiwa wa mwanadamu au wa mnyama.”
313:3 Kut 7:4; Law 26:13; Hes 22:5; 26:4; Kum 4:45; 5:6; Za 81:10; 114:1; Kut 3:20; 12:8Ndipo Mose akawaambia watu, “Ikumbukeni siku hii, siku ambayo mlitoka katika nchi ya Misri, katika nchi ya utumwa, kwa sababu Bwana aliwatoa humo kwa mkono wenye nguvu. Msile chochote kilichotiwa chachu. 413:4 Kut 12:2Leo, katika mwezi wa Abibu,13:4 Abibu ni jina la mwezi wa kwanza kwa Wayahudi, ambao ni mwezi wa nne katika kalenda yetu. mnatoka. 513:5 Kut 3:8; 12:25-26Bwana atakapokuleta katika nchi ya Wakanaani, Wahiti, Waamori, Wahivi na Wayebusi, nchi aliyowaapia baba zako kukupa, nchi itiririkayo maziwa na asali, utaiadhimisha sikukuu hii katika mwezi huu: 613:6 Kut 12:15-20Kwa siku saba utakula mikate isiyotiwa chachu na katika siku ya saba utamfanyia Bwana sikukuu. 7Kwa muda wa siku saba utakula mikate isiyotiwa chachu, pasionekane kitu chochote kilicho na chachu miongoni mwako, wala chachu yoyote isionekane popote ndani ya mipaka yako. 813:8 Kut 10:2; Za 78:5-6Siku ile utamwambia mwanao, ‘Nafanya hivi kwa sababu ya jambo ambalo Bwana alinitendea nilipotoka katika nchi ya Misri.’ 913:9 Isa 44:5; Kum 6:8; 11:18; Mit 3:3; Mt 23:5; Kut 3:20Adhimisho hili, litakuwa kama alama kwenye mkono wako na ukumbusho katika paji lako la uso, kwamba sheria ya Bwana inapaswa iwe kinywani mwako. Kwa kuwa Bwana alikutoa katika nchi ya Misri kwa mkono wake wenye nguvu. 1013:10 Kut 12:14; Za 75:2; 102:13Ni lazima uishike amri hii kwa wakati uliopangwa mwaka baada ya mwaka.
1113:11 Mwa 22:16; Kum 1:8; Mwa 12:7; 17:19; Za 105:42-45“Baada ya Bwana kukuingiza katika nchi ya Wakanaani na kukupa nchi hiyo, kama alivyokuahidi kwa kiapo na kwa baba zako, 1213:12 Mwa 4:4; Law 27:26; Hes 3:13; 18:15-17; Lk 2:23inakupasa kumtolea Bwana mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kila tumbo. Wazaliwa wote wa kwanza wa kiume wa mifugo yako ni mali ya Bwana. 1313:13 Law 27:11; Kut 34:20; Isa 66:3; Hes 3:46-47; 18:15Kila mzaliwa wa kwanza wa punda utamkomboa kwa mwana-kondoo, lakini kama hukumkomboa, utamvunja shingo yake. Kila mzaliwa wa kwanza mwanaume miongoni mwa wana wenu utamkomboa.
1413:14 Kut 10:2; 20:2; Kum 7:8; 6:20; 28:68“Katika siku zijazo, mwanao akikuuliza, ‘Hii ina maana gani?’ Mwambie, ‘Kwa mkono wenye nguvu Bwana alitutoa katika nchi ya Misri, kutoka nchi ya utumwa. 15Farao alipokataa kwa ukaidi kuturuhusu kuondoka, Bwana aliua kila mzaliwa wa kwanza wa Wamisri, mwanadamu na wa mnyama. Hii ndiyo sababu ninatoa dhabihu kwa Bwana mzaliwa wa kwanza wa kiume, wa kila tumbo na kumkomboa kila mzaliwa wa kwanza wa wana wangu.’ 16Jambo hili litakuwa kama ishara kwenye mkono wako na kama alama kwenye paji la uso wako, kwamba Bwana alikutoa katika nchi ya Misri kwa mkono wake wenye nguvu.”
Nguzo Ya Wingu Na Moto
1713:17 Kut 14:11; Hes 14:1-4; Kum 17:16; Hos 11:5Farao alipowaachia watu waende, Mungu hakuwaongoza kufuata njia ipitiayo katika nchi ya Wafilisti, ingawa njia hiyo ilikuwa fupi zaidi. Kwa maana Mungu alisema, “Wakikabiliana na vita, wanaweza kubadili mawazo yao na kurudi Misri.” 1813:18 Kut 15:22; Za 136:16; Eze 20:10; Yos 4:13Kwa hiyo Mungu akawaongoza watu kupitia njia ya kuzunguka kupitia jangwani, kuelekea Bahari ya Shamu. Waisraeli walipanda kutoka nchi ya Misri wakiwa wamejiandaa kwa vita.
1913:19 Yos 24:32; Mdo 7:16; Ebr 11:22; Mwa 47:29-30Mose akachukua mifupa ya Yosefu kwa sababu Yosefu alikuwa amewaapisha wana wa Israeli. Alikuwa amewaambia, “Hakika Mungu atakuja kuwasaidia, nanyi ni lazima mwiichukue mifupa yangu mwende nayo kutoka mahali hapa.”
2013:20 Kut 12:37; Hes 33:6Baada ya Waisraeli kuondoka Sukothi wakapiga kambi huko Ethamu pembeni mwa jangwa. 2113:21 Kut 32:1; 33:14; Kum 2:7; 31:8; Amu 4:14; 5:4; Za 68:7; 72:20; Yer 2:2; Hab 3:13; Kut 14:19, 24; 24:16; 33:9-10; 34:5; 40:38; Hes 9:16; 12:5; 14:14; Kum 1:33; Neh 9:12, 19; Za 78:14; 99:7; 105:39; Isa 4:5; 1Kor 10:1Wakati wa mchana Bwana aliwatangulia kwa nguzo ya wingu kuwaongoza katika njia yao, na wakati wa usiku aliwatangulia kwa nguzo ya moto kuwaangazia, ili waweze kusafiri mchana au usiku. 2213:22 Neh 9:19; Hes 33:7; Yer 44:1; Eze 29:10Ile nguzo ya wingu wakati wa mchana au ile nguzo ya moto wakati wa usiku haikuondoka mahali pake mbele ya watu.
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 2Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.
3¶ And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten.13.3 bondage: Heb. servants 4This 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. 6Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD. 7Unleavened 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.
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. 9And it shall be for a sign unto thee upon thine hand, and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD’s law may be in thy mouth: for with a strong hand hath the LORD brought thee out of Egypt. 10Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance 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, 12That thou shalt set apart unto the LORD all that openeth the matrix, and every firstling that cometh of a beast which thou hast; the males shall be the LORD’s.13.12 set…: Heb. cause to pass over 13And every firstling of an ass thou shalt redeem with a lamb; and if thou wilt not redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck: and all the firstborn of man among thy children shalt thou redeem.13.13 lamb: or, kid
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:13.14 in…: Heb. to morrow 15And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would hardly 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. 16And it shall be for a token upon thine hand, and for frontlets between thine eyes: for by strength of hand the LORD brought us forth out of Egypt.
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: 18But God led the people about, through the way of the wilderness of the Red sea: and the children of Israel went up harnessed out of the land of Egypt.13.18 harnessed: or, by five in a rank 19And 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. 21And 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: 22He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.
