What are You trying to communicate, God? In the text the Death Angel overtakes all the firstborn of Egypt (Exodus 12:29), then You require the consecration of all Israelite firstborn males (Exodus 13:1-2). Israelite sacrifice, redemption, and consecration are remembered and established by instruction and experience.
Moses takes the bones of Joseph out of Egypt to be buried in the land God promises to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob (Exodus 13:19). There is something to be said here about keeping promises across many generations.
"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." (Exodus 14:14) How often You assure me of the same!
