Exodus 12

29 Ref And in the middle of the night the Lord sent death on every first male child in the land of Egypt, from the child of Pharaoh on his seat of power to the child of the prisoner in the prison; and the first births of all the cattle.

30 Ref Then Pharaoh got up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians; and a great cry went up from Egypt; for there was not a house where someone was not dead.

31 Ref And he sent for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Get up and go out from among my people, you and the children of Israel; go and give worship to the Lord as you have said.

32 Ref And take your flocks and your herds as you have said, and be gone; and give me your blessing.

33 Ref And the Egyptians were forcing the people on, to get them out of the land quickly; for they said, We are all dead men.

34 Ref And the people took their bread-paste before it was leavened, putting their basins in their clothing on their backs.

35 Ref And the children of Israel had done as Moses had said; and they got from the Egyptians ornaments of silver and of gold, and clothing:

36 Ref And the Lord had given the people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians so that they gave them whatever was requested. So they took away all their goods from the Egyptians.

37 Ref And the children of Israel made the journey from Rameses to Succoth; there were about six hundred thousand men on foot, as well as children.

38 Ref And a mixed band of people went with them; and flocks and herds in great numbers.

39 Ref And they made unleavened cakes from the paste which they had taken out of Egypt; it was not leavened, for they had been sent out of Egypt so quickly, that they had no time to make any food ready.

40 Ref Now the children of Israel had been living in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years.

41 Ref And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the very day, all the armies of the Lord went out of the land of Egypt.

42 Ref It is a watch-night before the Lord who took them out of the land of Egypt: this same night is a watch-night to the Lord for all the children of Israel, through all their generations.
