Exodus 12:29–36

Death of the Firstborn of Egypt

²⁹Now it happened at ^amidnight that ^bYahweh struck all ^cthe firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the ¹dungeon, and all the firstborn of ^dcattle.

³⁰Then Pharaoh arose in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians, and there was ^aa great cry in Egypt, for there was no home where there was not someone dead.

³¹Then ^ahe called for Moses and Aaron at night and said, “Rise up, ^bget out from among my people, both you and the sons of Israel; and go, ¹serve Yahweh, as you have spoken.

³²“Take ^aboth your flocks and your herds, as you have spoken, and go, and bless me also.”

Israel Goes Out From Egypt

^33aAnd the Egyptians strongly pressed the people to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, “We will all be dead.”

³⁴So the people took up ^atheir dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls bound up in the clothes on their shoulders.

^35aNow the sons of Israel had done according to the word of Moses—they had asked from the Egyptians for articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing;

³⁶and Yahweh had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Thus they ^aplundered the Egyptians.
