This phrase highlights his role as a mediator between God and the Israelites. Moses' leadership is crucial during the Exodus, as he guides the people out of Egypt and through the wilderness.Remember this day The act of remembering is significant in biblical tradition, serving as a call to recall God's mighty acts and faithfulness. This command to remember is not just a mental exercise but involves active commemoration, often through rituals and celebrations, such as the Passover.the day you came out of Egypt This refers to the historical event of the Exodus, when the Israelites were freed from Egyptian bondage. It marks a pivotal moment in Israel's history, symbolizing liberation and the beginning of their journey to the Promised Land. The Exodus is a foundational narrative for understanding God's deliverance and covenant with His people.out of the house of slavery Egypt is described as a "house of slavery," emphasizing the harsh conditions and oppression the Israelites faced. This phrase underscores the transformation from bondage to freedom, a theme that resonates throughout Scripture and is often paralleled with spiritual liberation from sin.for the LORD brought you out of it by the strength of His hand This emphasizes God's direct intervention and power in delivering the Israelites. The "strength of His hand" is a metaphor for God's mighty and sovereign action. It highlights that the Exodus was not achieved by human effort but by divine power, showcasing God's supremacy over earthly powers.And nothing leavened shall be eaten The prohibition against leavened bread is part of the Passover observance, symbolizing purity and separation from sin. Leaven, or yeast, often represents sin and corruption in biblical symbolism. The unleavened bread serves as a reminder of the haste in which the Israelites left Egypt and the need for spiritual readiness and purity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a> The leader chosen by God to deliver the Israelites from Egyptian bondage.

Without relating the directions given to Moses any further, the author passes to the directions given by him. He thus, here and elsewhere, avoids unnecessary repetition. Remember this day. The injunction came with great force at the close of the first day's journey, when the good-will of the Egyptians had been shown, and the people had been helped and speeded on their way, and felt that they were actually quitting the house of their bondage, and setting out for Canaan. By strength of hand the Lord brought you out - i.e.., "by His powerful protection has God brought you on your way thus far." Therefore, "Remember this day, and remember that nothing leavened is to be eaten on it" (see <a href="/exodus/12-15.htm">Exodus 12:15-20</a>). Ver 4. - In the month Abib. The name of the month had not been previously mentioned. Some have derived it from the Egyptian Epiphi. As, however, ab means "greenness" in Hebrew, and abib "green ears of corn," while ibba meant "fruit" in Chaldee (<a href="/daniel/4-12.htm">Daniel 4:12, 14</a>), and abbon means "green herbs" in Arabic, there is no need of a foreign derivation for the word. The month of "greenness," or of "green ears of corn," would be both appropriate and intelligible. <a href="/commentaries/exodus/13-3.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div>So Moses מֹשֶׁ֜ה (mō·šeh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4872.htm">Strong's 4872: </a> Moses -- a great Israelite leader, prophet and lawgiver told וַיֹּ֨אמֶר (way·yō·mer) Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_559.htm">Strong's 559: </a> To utter, say the people, הָעָ֗ם (hā·‘ām) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5971.htm">Strong's 5971: </a> A people, a tribe, troops, attendants, a flock “Remember זָכ֞וֹר (zā·ḵō·wr) Verb - Qal - Infinitive absolute <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2142.htm">Strong's 2142: </a> To mark, to remember, to mention, to be male this הַזֶּה֙ (haz·zeh) Article | Pronoun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2088.htm">Strong's 2088: </a> This, that day, הַיּ֤וֹם (hay·yō·wm) Article | Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3117.htm">Strong's 3117: </a> A day [the day] אֲשֶׁ֨ר (’ă·šer) Pronoun - relative <a href="/hebrew/strongs_834.htm">Strong's 834: </a> Who, which, what, that, when, where, how, because, in order that you came out יְצָאתֶ֤ם (yə·ṣā·ṯem) Verb - Qal - Perfect - second person masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3318.htm">Strong's 3318: </a> To go, bring, out, direct and proxim of Egypt, מִמִּצְרַ֙יִם֙ (mim·miṣ·ra·yim) Preposition-m | Noun - proper - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_4714.htm">Strong's 4714: </a> Egypt -- a son of Ham, also his descendants and their country in Northwest Africa out of the house מִבֵּ֣ית (mib·bêṯ) Preposition-m | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_1004.htm">Strong's 1004: </a> A house of slavery; עֲבָדִ֔ים (‘ă·ḇā·ḏîm) Noun - masculine plural <a href="/hebrew/strongs_5650.htm">Strong's 5650: </a> Slave, servant for כִּ֚י (kî) Conjunction <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3588.htm">Strong's 3588: </a> A relative conjunction the LORD יְהֹוָ֛ה (Yah·weh) Noun - proper - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3068.htm">Strong's 3068: </a> LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israel brought you out הוֹצִ֧יא (hō·w·ṣî) Verb - Hifil - Perfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3318.htm">Strong's 3318: </a> To go, bring, out, direct and proxim of it מִזֶּ֑ה (miz·zeh) Preposition-m | Pronoun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2088.htm">Strong's 2088: </a> This, that by the strength בְּחֹ֣זֶק (bə·ḥō·zeq) Preposition-b | Noun - masculine singular construct <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2392.htm">Strong's 2392: </a> Strength of His hand. יָ֔ד (yāḏ) Noun - feminine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3027.htm">Strong's 3027: </a> A hand And nothing וְלֹ֥א (wə·lō) Conjunctive waw | Adverb - Negative particle <a href="/hebrew/strongs_3808.htm">Strong's 3808: </a> Not, no leavened חָמֵֽץ׃ (ḥā·mêṣ) Noun - masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_2557.htm">Strong's 2557: </a> That which is leavened shall be eaten. יֵאָכֵ֖ל (yê·’ā·ḵêl) Verb - Nifal - Imperfect - third person masculine singular <a href="/hebrew/strongs_398.htm">Strong's 398: </a> To eat <div class="vheading">Links</div><a href="/niv/exodus/13-3.htm">Exodus 13:3 NIV</a> <a href="/nlt/exodus/13-3.htm">Exodus 13:3 NLT</a> <a href="/esv/exodus/13-3.htm">Exodus 13:3 ESV</a> <a href="/nasb/exodus/13-3.htm">Exodus 13:3 NASB</a> <a href="/kjv/exodus/13-3.htm">Exodus 13:3 KJV</a> <a href="//bibleapps.com/exodus/13-3.htm">Exodus 13:3 BibleApps.com</a> <a href="//bibliaparalela.com/exodus/13-3.htm">Exodus 13:3 Biblia Paralela</a> <a href="//holybible.com.cn/exodus/13-3.htm">Exodus 13:3 Chinese Bible</a> <a href="//saintebible.com/exodus/13-3.htm">Exodus 13:3 French Bible</a> <a href="/catholic/exodus/13-3.htm">Exodus 13:3 Catholic Bible</a> <a href="/exodus/13-3.htm">OT Law: Exodus 13:3 Moses said to the people Remember this (Exo.
