KJV ¹ And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

VULC ¹ Locutusque est Dominus ad Moysen, dicens :

KJV ² Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: it is mine.

VULC ² Sanctifica mihi omne primogenitum quod aperit vulvam in filiis Israël, tam de hominibus quam de jumentis : mea sunt enim omnia.

KJV 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.

VULC ³ Et ait Moyses ad populum : Mementote diei hujus in qua egressi estis de Ægypto et de domo servitutis, quoniam in manu forti eduxit vos Dominus de loco isto : ut non comedatis fermentatum panem.

KJV ⁴ This day came ye out in the month Abib.

VULC ⁴ Hodie egredimini mense novarum frugum.

KJV 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.

VULC ⁵ Cumque introduxerit te Dominus in terram Chananæi, et Hethæi, et Amorrhæi, et Hevæi, et Jebusæi, quam juravit patribus tuis ut daret tibi, terram fluentem lacte et melle, celebrabis hunc morem sacrorum mense isto.

KJV ⁶ Seven days thou shalt eat unleavened bread, and in the seventh day shall be a feast to the LORD.

VULC ⁶ Septem diebus vesceris azymis : et in die septimo erit solemnitas Domini.

KJV ⁷ Unleavened 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.

VULC ⁷ Azyma comedetis septem diebus : non apparebit apud te aliquid fermentatum, nec in cunctis finibus tuis.

KJV 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.

VULC ⁸ Narrabisque filio tuo in die illo, dicens : Hoc est quod fecit mihi Dominus quando egressus sum de Ægypto.

KJV ⁹ And 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.

VULC ⁹ Et erit quasi signum in manu tua, et quasi monimentum ante oculos tuos : et ut lex Domini semper sit in ore tuo, in manu enim forti eduxit te Dominus de Ægypto.

KJV ¹⁰ Thou shalt therefore keep this ordinance in his season from year to year.

VULC ¹⁰ Custodies hujuscemodi cultum statuto tempore a diebus in dies.

KJV 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,

VULC ¹¹ Cumque introduxerit te Dominus in terram Chananæi, sicut juravit tibi et patribus tuis, et dederit tibi eam :

KJV ¹² That 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.

VULC ¹² separabis omne quod aperit vulvam Domino, et quod primitivum est in pecoribus tuis : quidquid habueris masculini sexus, consecrabis Domino.

KJV ¹³ And 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.

VULC ¹³ Primogenitum asini mutabis ove : quod si non redemeris, interficies. Omne autem primogenitum hominis de filiis tuis, pretio redimes.

KJV 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:

VULC ¹⁴ Cumque interrogaverit te filius tuus cras, dicens : Quid est hoc ? respondebis ei : In manu forti eduxit nos Dominus de terra Ægypti, de domo servitutis.

KJV 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.

VULC ¹⁵ Nam cum induratus esset Pharao, et nollet nos dimittere, occidit Dominus omne primogenitum in terra Ægypti, a primogenito hominis usque ad primogenitum jumentorum : idcirco immolo Domino omne quod aperit vulvam masculini sexus, et omnia primogenita filiorum meorum redimo.

KJV 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.

VULC ¹⁶ Erit igitur quasi signum in manu tua, et quasi appensum quid, ob recordationem, inter oculos tuos : eo quod in manu forti eduxit nos Dominus de Ægypto.

KJV 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:

VULC ¹⁷ Igitur cum emisisset Pharao populum, non eos duxit Deus per viam terræ Philisthiim quæ vicina est : reputans ne forte pœniteret eum, si vidisset adversum se bella consurgere, et reverteretur in Ægyptum.

KJV ¹⁸ But 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.

VULC ¹⁸ Sed circumduxit per viam deserti, quæ est juxta mare Rubrum : et armati ascenderunt filii Israël de terra Ægypti.

KJV ¹⁹ And 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.

VULC ¹⁹ Tulit quoque Moyses ossa Joseph secum : eo quod adjurasset filios Israël, dicens : Visitabit vos Deus ; efferte ossa mea hinc vobiscum.

KJV ²⁰ And they took their journey from Succoth, and encamped in Etham, in the edge of the wilderness.

VULC ²⁰ Profectique de Socoth castrametati sunt in Etham, in extremis finibus solitudinis.

KJV ²¹ And 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:

VULC ²¹ Dominus autem præcedebat eos ad ostendendam viam per diem in columna nubis, et per noctem in columna ignis : ut dux esset itineris utroque tempore.

KJV ²² He took not away the pillar of the cloud by day, nor the pillar of fire by night, from before the people.

VULC ²² Numquam defuit columna nubis per diem, nec columna ignis per noctem, coram populo.
