37 The Israelites traveled from Rameses to Succoth,h about six hundred thousandi 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 drivenj out of Egypt, they could not delay and had not prepared provisions for themselves.

40 The time that the Israelites lived in EgyptA was 430 years.k 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.l
