Exodus 13

Exodus 13 explains how Israel is to remember the Exodus after leaving Egypt. Every firstborn is consecrated to the LORD because he spared Israel’s firstborn in the Passover. The Feast of Unleavened Bread becomes a teaching sign for future generations, and firstborn animals and sons are connected with redemption. God deliberately does not lead Israel by the shorter Philistine route, lest war cause the people to return to Egypt. Moses takes Joseph’s bones in fulfillment of Joseph’s oath, and the LORD visibly guides Israel by a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night.
