EXODUS 13

REMEMBRANCE OF THE PASSOVER 

In remembrance of the Passover, God instructs the Israelites to consecrate their firstborn children, dedicating them to God. 

Moses reminds the Israelites how important it is that God freed them from the Egyptians and that they must commemorate the occasion every year with the Festival of the Unleavened Bread and the remembrance of Passover.  

Joseph’s remains are finally brought out of Egypt, just as his ancestors promised him in Genesis 50. They’ve been carrying those bones around for a long time now!
