Orders them to remember the day in which they were brought out of Egypt, when they should be brought to the land of Canaan; and to keep this service in the month Abib, Exodus 13:3-5 .

And the people are not led directly to the promised land, but about through the wilderness; and the reason assigned, Exodus 13:17 , Exodus 13:18 .
