When Pharaoh stubbornly refused to let us go, the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man, and the firstborn of livestock. Therefore I sacrifice to the LORD all that opens the womb, being males; but all the firstborn of my sons I redeem.’

ગુજરાતીનિર્ગમન ૧૩:૧૫
ફારુન હઠે ચડયો હતો, તેથી તે અમને બહાર જવા દેતો ન હતો. ત્યારે યહોવાહે મિસર દેશના બધા પ્રથમજનિતને એટલે પ્રથમજનિત પુરુષોનો તથા પ્રથમજનિત નર જાનવરોનો સંહાર કર્યો હતો. તેથી પ્રથમજનિત સર્વ નર પશુઓને અમે યહોવાહને અર્પણ કરીએ છીએ, પણ અમારા પુત્રોમાંના અર્પણ કરેલા સર્વ પ્રથમજનિતોને અમે મૂલ્ય ચૂકવીને છોડાવીએ છીએ.’
हिन्दीनिर्गमन १३:१५
उस समय जब फ़िरौन ने कठोर होकर हमको जाने देना न चाहा, तब यहोवा ने मिस्र देश में मनुष्य से लेकर पशु तक सब के पहिलौठों को मार डाला। इसी कारण पशुओं में से तो जितने अपनी-अपनी माँ के पहलौठे नर हैं, उन्हें हम यहोवा के लिये बलि करते हैं; पर अपने सब जेठे पुत्रों को हम बदला देकर छुड़ा लेते हैं।’

16It shall be for a sign on your hand, and for symbols between your eyes; for by strength of hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt.”

17When Pharaoh had let the people go, God didn’t lead them by the way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, “Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and they return to Egypt”;
