Exodus 12:31-42
Christian Standard Bible
31 He summoned Moses and Aaron during the night and said, “Get out immediately from among my people, both you and the Israelites, and go, worship the Lord as you have said. 32 Take even your flocks and your herds as you asked and leave, and also bless me.”
33 Now the Egyptians pressured the people in order to send them quickly out of the country, for they said, “We’re all going to die!” (A) 34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls wrapped up in their clothes on their shoulders.
35 The Israelites acted on Moses’s word and asked the Egyptians for silver and gold items and for clothing.(B) 36 And the Lord gave the people such favor with the Egyptians that they gave them what they requested. In this way they plundered the Egyptians.
37 The Israelites traveled from Rameses to Succoth,(C) about six hundred thousand(D) able-bodied men on foot, besides their families. 38 A mixed crowd also went up with them, along with a huge number of livestock, both flocks and herds. 39 The people baked the dough they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened loaves, since it had no yeast; for when they were driven(E) out of Egypt, they could not delay and had not prepared provisions for themselves.
40 The time that the Israelites lived in Egypt[a] was 430 years.(F) 41 At the end of 430 years, on that same day, all the Lord’s military divisions went out from the land of Egypt. 42 It was a night of vigil in honor of the Lord, because he would bring them out of the land of Egypt. This same night is in honor of the Lord, a night vigil for all the Israelites throughout their generations.(G)

Exodus 12:31-42
English Standard Version
31 Then he summoned Moses and Aaron by night and said, “Up, go out from among my people, (A)both you and the people of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as you have said. 32 (B)Take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone, and bless me also!”
The Exodus
33 (C)The Egyptians were urgent with the people to send them out of the land in haste. For they said, “We shall all be dead.” 34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading bowls being bound up in their cloaks on their shoulders. 35 The people of Israel had also done as Moses told them, for they had (D)asked the Egyptians for silver and gold jewelry and for clothing. 36 (E)And the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that (F)they let them have what they asked. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.
37 And the (G)people of Israel journeyed from (H)Rameses to Succoth, (I)about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children. 38 A (J)mixed multitude also went up with them, and very much livestock, both flocks and herds. 39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough that they had brought out of Egypt, for it was not leavened, because (K)they were thrust out of Egypt and (L)could not wait, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.
40 The time that the people of Israel lived in Egypt was 430 years. 41 At the end of (M)430 years, on that very day, all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. 42 It was a night of watching by the Lord, to bring them out of the land of Egypt; so this same night is a (N)night of watching kept to the Lord by all the people of Israel throughout their generations.
