Exodus 12:37–41

37–39  The Israelites moved on from Rameses to Succoth, about 600,000 on foot, besides their dependents. There was also a crowd of riffraff tagging along, not to mention the large flocks and herds of livestock. They baked unraised cakes with the bread dough they had brought out of Egypt; it hadn’t raised—they’d been rushed out of Egypt and hadn’t time to fix food for the journey.

The Passover

40–42  The Israelites had lived in Egypt 430 years. At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, God’s entire army left Egypt.
