The Exodus

Exodus 12

33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people that they might send them out of the land in haste, for they said, We are all dead men. 34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. 35 And the sons of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked the Egyptians for vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and clothing. 36 And the LORD gave the people grace in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they gave unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

37 And the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, not counting the children. 38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them and many sheep and cows. 39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not tarry nor prepare food for themselves.

40 Now the time that the sons of Israel dwelt in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years. 41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even that same day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. 42 It is a night to be much observed unto the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this night should be observed unto the LORD by all the sons of Israel in their ages.
