31And 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. 32Take both your sheep and goats as well as your cattle, and go, and bless also me.”

33And the Egyptians urged the people in order to hurry their releaset from the land, because they said, “All of us will die!”u 34And the people lifted up their dough before it had yeast; their kneading troughs were wrapped up in their cloaks on their shoulder. 35And the Israelitesv did according to the word of Moses, and they asked from the Egyptians for objects of silver and objects of gold and for clothing. 36And Yahweh gave the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they granted their requests, and they plundered the Egyptians.

37And the Israelitesw set out from Rameses to Succoth; the men were about six hundred thousand on foot,x besides dependents. 38And also a mixed multitudey went up with them and sheep and goats and cattle, very numerous livestock. 39And 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.
