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)

  1. 12:40 LXX, Sam add and in Canaan

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]worship the Lord, as you have said. 32 Take (C)both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go, and bless me also.”

Exodus of Israel

33 (D)The Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in a hurry, for they said, “We will all be dead.” 34 So the people took (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, for they had requested from the Egyptians articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; 36 and the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have their request. Therefore they (G)plundered the Egyptians.

37 Now the (H)sons of Israel journeyed from (I)Rameses to Succoth, about (J)six hundred thousand men on foot, aside from children. 38 A (K)mixed multitude also went up with them, [b]along with flocks and herds, a (L)very 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 no yeast, since they were (M)driven out of Egypt and could not delay, nor had they [c]prepared any provisions for themselves.

40 Now the time [d]that the sons of Israel had lived in Egypt was (N)430 years. 41 And at the end of 430 years, on (O)this very day, (P)all the [e]multitudes of the Lord departed from the land of Egypt.
