Exodus 13:14-16
New American Standard Bible
14 (A)And it shall be when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ then you shall say to him, ‘(B)With [a]a powerful hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, from the house of [b]slavery. 15 And it came about, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that the (C)Lord put to death every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from human firstborns to animal firstborns. Therefore, I sacrifice to the Lord the males, every firstborn of a womb, but every firstborn of my sons I redeem.’ 16 So (D)it shall [c]serve as a sign on your hand and as [d]phylacteries [e]on your forehead, for with [f]a powerful hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt.”

New International Version
14 “In days to come, when your son(A) asks you, ‘What does this mean?’ say to him, ‘With a mighty hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, out of the land of slavery.(B) 15 When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the Lord killed the firstborn of both people and animals in Egypt. This is why I sacrifice to the Lord the first male offspring of every womb and redeem each of my firstborn sons.’(C) 16 And it will be like a sign on your hand and a symbol on your forehead(D) that the Lord brought us out of Egypt with his mighty hand.”

Exodus 13:14-16
King James Version
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:
15 And 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.
16 And 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.
