Exodus 12:31–39

³¹Then he summoned Moses and Aaron in the night and said, “Rise up, go away from my people, both you and the Israelites! Go, serve the Lord, as you said.^{* 32}Take your flocks and your herds, as you said, and be gone. And ask a blessing for me, too!”^*

The Exodus: From Rameses to Succoth

³³The Egyptians urged the people to hasten their departure from the land, for they said, “We shall all be dead.”^{* 34}So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls wrapped up in their cloaks on their shoulders. ³⁵The Israelites had acted according to the word of Moses; they had asked the Egyptians for jewelry of silver and gold and for clothing,^{* 36}and the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. And so they plundered the Egyptians.^*

³⁷The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides little ones.^{* 38}A mixed crowd also went up with them and livestock in great numbers, both flocks and herds.^{* 39}They baked unleavened cakes of the dough that they had brought out of Egypt; it was not leavened, because they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.^*
