Exodus 12:31–42
31 And he called Moses and Aaron at night, and he said, “Get up, go out from the midst of my people, both you as well as the ⌊Israelites⌋,s and go, serve Yahweh, as you have said. 32 Take both your sheep and goats as well as your cattle, and go, and bless also me.”
33 And the Egyptians urged the people in order to hurry their releaset from the land, because they said, “All of us will die!”u 34 And the people lifted up their dough before it had yeast; their kneading troughs were wrapped up in their cloaks on their shoulder. 35 And the ⌊Israelites⌋v did according to the word of Moses, and they asked from the Egyptians for objects of silver and objects of gold and for clothing. 36 And Yahweh gave the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they granted their requests, and they plundered the Egyptians.
37 And the ⌊Israelites⌋w set out from Rameses to Succoth; the men were about six hundred thousand on foot,x besides dependents. 38 And also a ⌊mixed multitude⌋y went up with them and sheep and goats and cattle, very numerous livestock. 39 And they baked the dough that they had brought out from Egypt as cakes, unleavened bread, because it had no yeast when they were driven out from Egypt, and they were not able to delay, and also they had not made provisions for themselves.
40 And the period of dwelling of the ⌊Israelites⌋z that they dwelled in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years. 41 And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, on this exact day, all of Yahweh’s divisions went out from the land of Egypt. 42 It is a night of vigilsa belonging to Yahweh for bringing them out from the land of Egypt; it is this night belonging to Yahweh with vigils for all of the ⌊Israelites⌋b throughout their generations.
