Exodus 13

NEW JERUSALEM	LXX
1 Yahweh spoke to Moses and said,	1 ειπεν δε κυριος προς μωυσην λεγων
2 'Consecrate al the first-born to me, the first birth from every womb, among the Israelites. Whetherman or beast, it is mine.'	2 αγιασον μοι παν πρωτοτοκον πρωτογενες διανοιγον πασαν μητραν εν τοις υιοις ισραηλ απο ανθρωπου εως κτηνους εμοι εστιν
3 Moses said to the people, 'Remember this day, on which you came out of Egypt, from the place ofslave-labour, for by the strength of his hand Yahweh brought you out of it; no leavened bread may be eaten.	3 ειπεν δε μωυσης προς τον λαον μνημονευετε την ημεραν ταυτην εν η εξηλθατε εκ γης αιγυπτου εξ οικου δουλειας εν γαρ χειρι κραταια εξηγαγεν υμας κυριος εντευθεν και ου βρωθησεται ζυμη
4 On this day, in the month of Abib, you are leaving,	4 εν γαρ τη σημερον υμεις εκπορευεσθε εν μηνι των νεων
5 and when Yahweh has brought you into the country of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, theHivites and the Jebusites, flowing with milk and honey, which he swore to your ancestors that he would give you,then you must observe this rite in the same month.	5 και εσται ηνικα εαν εισαγαγη σε κυριος ο θεος σου εις την γην των χαναναιων και χετταιων και ευαιων και γεργεσαιων και αμορραιων και φερεζαιων και ιεβουσαιων ην ωμοσεν τοις πατρασιν σου δουναι σοι γην ρεουσαν γαλα και μελι και ποιησεις την λατρειαν ταυτην εν τω μηνι τουτω
6 For seven days you wil eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there must be a feast inYahweh's honour.	6 εξ ημερας εδεσθε αζυμα τη δε ημερα τη εβδομη εορτη κυριου
7 During these seven days unleavened bread may be eaten; no leavened bread may be seen amongyou, no leaven among you throughout your territory.	7 αζυμα εδεσθε τας επτα ημερας ουκ οφθησεται σοι ζυμωτον ουδε εσται σοι ζυμη εν πασιν τοις οριοις σου
8 And on that day you wil explain to your son, "This is because of what Yahweh did for me when I cameout of Egypt."	8 και αναγγελεις τω υιω σου εν τη ημερα εκεινη λεγων δια τουτο εποιησεν κυριος ο θεος μοι ως εξεπορευομην εξ αιγυπτου
9 This will serve as a sign on your hand would serve, or a reminder on your forehead, and in that waythe law of Yahweh will be ever on your lips: for with a mighty hand Yahweh brought you out of Egypt.	9 και εσται σοι σημειον επι της χειρος σου και μνημοσυνον προ οφθαλμων σου οπως αν γενηται ο νομος κυριου εν τω στοματι σου εν γαρ χειρι κραταια εξηγαγεν σε κυριος ο θεος εξ αιγυπτου
10 You shal observe this law at its appointed time, year by year.	10 και φυλαξεσθε τον νομον τουτον κατα καιρους ωρων αφ' ημερων εις ημερας
11 'When Yahweh has brought you into the Canaanites' country, as he swore to you and your ancestorsthat he would, and given it to you,	11 και εσται ως αν εισαγαγη σε κυριος ο θεος σου εις την γην των χαναναιων ον τροπον ωμοσεν τοις πατρασιν σου και δωσει σοι αυτην
12 to Yahweh you must make over whatever first issues from the womb, and every first-born cast byanimals belonging to you: these males belong to Yahweh.	12 και αφελεις παν διανοιγον μητραν τα αρσενικα τω κυριω παν διανοιγον μητραν εκ των βουκολιων η εν τοις κτηνεσιν σου οσα εαν γενηται σοι τα αρσενικα αγιασεις τω κυριω
13 But every first-born donkey you wil redeem with a lamb or kid; if you do not redeem it, you mustbreak its neck. Al the human first-born, however, among your sons, you wil redeem.	13 παν διανοιγον μητραν ονου αλλαξεις προβατω εαν δε μη αλλαξης λυτρωση αυτο παν πρωτοτοκον ανθρωπου των υιων σου λυτρωση
14 And when your son asks you in days to come, "What does this mean?" you wil tel him, "By thestrength of his hand Yahweh brought us out of Egypt, out of the place of slave-labour.	14 εαν δε ερωτηση σε ο υιος σου μετα ταυτα λεγων τι τουτο και ερεις αυτω οτι εν χειρι κραταια εξηγαγεν ημας κυριος εκ γης αιγυπτου εξ οικου δουλειας
15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, Yahweh killed all the first-born in Egypt, of man andbeast alike. This is why I sacrifice every male first issuing from the womb to Yahweh and redeem every first-bornof my sons."	15 ηνικα δε εσκληρυνεν φαραω εξαποστειλαι ημας απεκτεινεν παν πρωτοτοκον εν γη αιγυπτω απο πρωτοτοκων ανθρωπων εως πρωτοτοκων κτηνων δια τουτο εγω θυω τω κυριω παν διανοιγον μητραν τα αρσενικα και παν πρωτοτοκον των υιων μου λυτρωσομαι
16 This wil serve as a sign on your hand would serve, or a headband on your forehead, for by thestrength of his hand Yahweh brought us out of Egypt.'	16 και εσται εις σημειον επι της χειρος σου και ασαλευτον προ οφθαλμων σου εν γαρ χειρι κραταια εξηγαγεν σε κυριος εξ αιγυπτου
17 When Pharaoh had let the people go, God did not let them take the road to the Philistines' territory,although that was the shortest, 'in case', God thought, 'the prospect of fighting makes the people change theirminds and turn back to Egypt.'	17 ως δε εξαπεστειλεν φαραω τον λαον ουχ ωδηγησεν αυτους ο θεος οδον γης φυλιστιιμ οτι εγγυς ην ειπεν γαρ ο θεος μηποτε μεταμεληση τω λαω ιδοντι πολεμον και αποστρεψη εις αιγυπτον
18 Instead, God led the people a roundabout way through the desert of the Sea of Reeds. The Israelitesleft Egypt ful y armed.	18 και εκυκλωσεν ο θεος τον λαον οδον την εις την ερημον εις την ερυθραν θαλασσαν πεμπτη δε γενεα ανεβησαν οι υιοι ισραηλ εκ γης αιγυπτου
19 Moses took with him the bones of Joseph, since Joseph had put the Israelites on solemn oath withthe words, 'It is sure that God will visit you,' he had said, 'and when that day comes you must take my bonesaway from here with you.'	19 και ελαβεν μωυσης τα οστα ιωσηφ μεθ' εαυτου ορκω γαρ ωρκισεν ιωσηφ τους υιους ισραηλ λεγων επισκοπη επισκεψεται υμας κυριος και συνανοισετε μου τα οστα εντευθεν μεθ' υμων
20 They set out from Succoth and encamped at Etham, on the edge of the desert.	20 εξαραντες δε οι υιοι ισραηλ εκ σοκχωθ εστρατοπεδευσαν εν οθομ παρα την ερημον
21 Yahweh preceded them, by day in a pil ar of cloud to show them the way, and by night in a pil ar offire to give them light, so that they could march by day and by night.	21 ο δε θεος ηγειτο αυτων ημερας μεν εν στυλω νεφελης δειξαι αυτοις την οδον την δε νυκτα εν στυλω πυρος
22 The pil ar of cloud never left its place ahead of the people during the day, nor the pil ar of fire duringthe night.	22 ουκ εξελιπεν ο στυλος της νεφελης ημερας και ο στυλος του πυρος νυκτος εναντιον παντος του λαου
