Exodus 12:31–39

The Exodus

³¹Then he ^pcalled for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, “Rise, go out from among my people, ^qboth you and the children of Israel. And go, serve the Lord as you have ^rsaid. ^32sAlso take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also.”

^33tAnd the Egyptians ^uurged the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste. For they said, “We shall all be dead.” ³⁴So the people took their dough before it was leavened, having their kneading bowls bound up in their clothes on their shoulders. ³⁵Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked from the Egyptians ^varticles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing. ^36wAnd the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus ^xthey plundered the Egyptians.

³⁷Then ^ythe children of Israel journeyed from ^zRameses to Succoth, about ^asix hundred thousand men on foot, besides children. ³⁸A ^bmixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds—a great deal of ^clivestock. ³⁹And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because ^dthey were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared provisions for themselves.
