³¹During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship^u the Lord as you have requested. ³²Take your flocks and herds,^v as you have said, and go. And also bless^w me.”

³³The Egyptians urged the people to hurry^x and leave^y the country. “For otherwise,” they said, “we will all die!”^z ³⁴So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs^a wrapped in clothing. ³⁵The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold^b and for clothing.^c ³⁶The Lord had made the Egyptians favorably disposed^d toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered^e the Egyptians.

³⁷The Israelites journeyed from Rameses^f to Sukkoth.^g There were about six hundred thousand men^h on foot, besides women and children. ³⁸Many other peopleⁱ went up with them, and also large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds. ³⁹With the dough the Israelites had brought from Egypt, they baked loaves of unleavened bread. The dough was without yeast because they had been driven out^j of Egypt and did not have time to prepare food for themselves.
