Exodus 12:29–42

²⁹And it came to pass that at midnight Jehovah smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle. ³⁰And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his bondmen, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house in which there was not one dead. ³¹And he called Moses and Aaron in the night, and said, Rise up, go away from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said. ³²Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and go; and bless me also. ³³And the Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead men! ³⁴And the people took their dough before it was leavened; their kneading-troughs bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. ³⁵And the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked of the Egyptians utensils of silver, and utensils of gold, and clothing. ³⁶And Jehovah had given the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they gave to them; and they spoiled the Egyptians.

³⁷And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, besides children. ³⁸And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks and herds—very much cattle. ³⁹And they baked the dough that they brought forth out of Egypt into unleavened cakes, for it was not leavened; for they were driven out of Egypt, and could not wait; neither had they prepared for themselves any food. ⁴⁰And the residence of the children of Israel that they resided in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years. ⁴¹And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, on that same day it came to pass that all the hosts of Jehovah went out from the land of Egypt. ⁴²It is a night of observance to Jehovah, because of their being brought out from the land of Egypt: that same night is an observance to Jehovah for all the children of Israel in their generations.
