Exodus 12:29–42

²⁹And it came to pass, that ^bat midnight ^cthe Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, ^dfrom the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto 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 servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a ^egreat cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead. ³¹And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, ^fboth ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said. ^32gAlso take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. ^33hAnd the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men. ³⁴And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their ^||kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. ³⁵And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they ⁱborrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: ^36kAnd the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And ^lthey spoiled the Egyptians.

³⁷And ^mthe children of Israel journeyed from ⁿRameses to Succoth, about ^osix hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children. ³⁸And ^†a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle. ³⁹And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because ^pthey were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual. ⁴⁰Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was ^qfour hundred and thirty years. ⁴¹And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all ^rthe hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt. ⁴²It is ^†a night to be much observed unto the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the Lord ^†to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
