13:3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which
ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of {a} bondage;
for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this

bread.

13:9 And it shall be for a sign unto thee {f} upon thine hand,
and for a memorial between thine eyes, that the LORD'S law

thing that is in your hand, or before your eyes.

Ex 13:17
13:17 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go,
that God led them not [through] the way of the land of the

blocking their passage.

signifies, set in order by five and five.
