Exodus 13:14-16

New King James Version

^14 (A)So it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ that you shall say to him, ^(B)‘By strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage. ¹⁵ And it came to pass, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that ^(C)the Lord killed 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 males that open the womb, but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’ ¹⁶ It shall be as ^(D)a sign on your hand and as frontlets between your eyes, for by strength of hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt.”
