³¹And Pharao calling Moses and Aaron, in the night, said: Arise and go forth from among my people, you and the children of Israel: go, sacrifice to the Lord as you say.

³²Your sheep and herds take along with you, as you demanded, and departing bless me.

³³And the Egyptians pressed the people to go forth out of the land speedily, saying: We shall all die.

³⁴The people therefore took dough before it was leavened; and tying it in their cloaks, put it on their shoulders.

³⁵And the children of Israel did as Moses had commanded: and they asked of the Egyptians vessels of silver and gold, and very much raiment.

³⁶And the Lord gave favour to the people in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them: and they stripped the Egyptians.

³⁷And the children of Israel set forward from Ramesse to Socoth, being about six hundred thousand men on foot, beside children.

³⁸And a mixed multitude, without number, went up also with them, sheep and herds, and beasts of divers kinds, exceeding many.

³⁹And they baked the meal, which a little before they had brought out of Egypt in dough: and they made hearth cakes unleavened: for it could not be leavened, the Egyptians pressing them to depart, and not suffering them to make any stay; neither did they think of preparing any meat.
