^8 (A)You shall tell your son on that day, saying, ‘It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.’

^14 (A)And it shall be when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?’ then you shall say to him, ‘^(B)With a ^[a]powerful hand the Lord brought us out of Egypt, from the house of ^[b]slavery. ¹⁵ It came about, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that the ^(C)Lord killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore, I sacrifice to the Lord the males, the first ^[c]offspring of every womb, but every firstborn of my sons I redeem.’
