   saying: What is this? thou shalt answer him: With a strong hand did the   
   Lord bring us forth out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of   
   bondage. 15 For when Pharao was hardened, and would not let us go, the   
   Lord slew every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of   
   man to the firstborn of beasts: therefore I sacrifice to the Lord all   
   that openeth the womb of the male sex, and all the firstborn of my sons   
   I redeem.
