Exodus 13:15 in Context — Exodus 13
13 Tu rachèteras avec un agneau tout premier-né de l’âne; et, si tu ne le rachètes pas, tu lui briseras la nuque. Tu rachèteras aussi tout premier-né de l’homme parmi tes fils.
14 Et lorsque ton fils te demandera un jour: Que signifie cela? Tu lui répondras: Par sa main puissante, l’Éternel nous a fait sortir d’Égypte, de la maison de servitude;
15 et, comme Pharaon s’obstinait à ne point nous laisser aller, l’Éternel fit mourir tous les premiers-nés dans le pays d’Égypte, depuis les premiers-nés des hommes jusqu’aux premiers-nés des animaux. Voilà pourquoi j’offre en sacrifice à l’Éternel tout premier-né des mâles, et je rachète tout premier-né de mes fils.
16 Ce sera comme un signe sur ta main et comme des fronteaux entre tes yeux; car c’est par sa main puissante que l’Éternel nous a fait sortir d’Égypte.
17 Lorsque Pharaon laissa aller le peuple, Dieu ne le conduisit point par le chemin du pays des Philistins, quoique le plus proche; car Dieu dit: Le peuple pourrait se repentir en voyant la guerre, et retourner en Égypte.
