Exodus 12:31-42
Legacy Standard Bible
31 Then (A)he called for Moses and Aaron at night and said, “Rise up, (B)get out from among my people, both you and the sons of Israel; and go, [a]serve Yahweh, as you have spoken. 32 Take (C)both your flocks and your herds, as you have spoken, and go, and bless me also.”
Israel Goes Out from Egypt
33 (D)And the Egyptians strongly pressed the people to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, “We will all be dead.” 34 So the people took up (E)their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls bound up in the clothes on their shoulders.
35 (F)Now the sons of Israel had done according to the word of Moses—they had asked from the Egyptians for articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; 36 and Yahweh had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Thus they (G)plundered the Egyptians.
37 And the (H)sons of Israel journeyed from (I)Rameses to Succoth, about (J)six hundred thousand men on foot, aside from the little ones. 38 A [b](K)foreign multitude also went up with them, [c]along with flocks and herds, a (L)very [d]large number of livestock. 39 And they baked the dough which they had brought out of Egypt into cakes of unleavened bread. For it had not become leavened, since they were (M)driven out of Egypt and could not delay, nor had they [e]prepared any provisions for themselves.
40 Now the time [f]that the sons of Israel lived in Egypt was (N)430 years. 41 And it happened at the end of 430 years, [g]to (O)the very day, that (P)all the hosts of Yahweh went out from the land of Egypt. 42 (Q)It is a night to be kept for Yahweh for having brought them out from the land of Egypt; this night is for Yahweh, to be kept [h]by all the sons of Israel throughout their generations.

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.
