⁸ On that day tell your son,^(A) ‘I do this because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’ ⁹ This observance will be for you like a sign on your hand^(B) and a reminder on your forehead^(C) that this law of the Lord is to be on your lips. For the Lord brought you out of Egypt with his mighty hand.^{(D) 10} You must keep this ordinance^(E) at the appointed time^(F) year after year.

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.”
