Exodus 12:31-40

New King James Version

The Exodus

³¹ Then he ^(A)called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, “Rise, go out from among my people, ^(B)both you and the children of Israel. And go, serve the Lord as you have ^(C)said. ^32 (D)Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also.”

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

³⁷ Then ^(J)the children of Israel journeyed from ^(K)Rameses to Succoth, about ^(L)six hundred thousand men on foot, besides children. ³⁸ A ^(M)mixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds—a great deal of ^(N)livestock. ³⁹ And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because ^(O)they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared provisions for themselves.

⁴⁰ Now the ^[a]sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in ^[b]Egypt was ^(P)four hundred and thirty years.
