The LORD tells Moses that the first born of each family should be redeemed. Moses commands the people to remember the flight from Egypt, to eat unleavened bread and hold a feast on the seventh day. Led by a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night, the Israelites continue their journey into the desert, carefully avoiding the war-torn land of the Philistines.
