Exodus 12

29 Ref And it cometh to pass, at midnight, that Jehovah hath smitten every first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh who is sitting on his throne, unto the first-born of the captive who `is' in the prison-house, and every first-born of beasts.

30 Ref And Pharaoh riseth by night, he and all his servants, and all the Egyptians, and there is a great cry in Egypt, for there is not a house where there is not `one' dead,

31 Ref and he calleth for Moses and for Aaron by night, and saith, `Rise, go out from the midst of my people, both ye and the sons of Israel, and go, serve Jehovah according to your word;

32 Ref both your flock and your herd take ye, as ye have spoken, and go; then ye have blessed also me.'

33 Ref And the Egyptians are urgent on the people, hasting to send them away out of the land, for they said, `We are all dead;'

34 Ref and the people taketh up its dough before it is fermented, their kneading-troughs `are' bound up in their garments on their shoulder.

35 Ref And the sons of Israel have done according to the word of Moses, and they ask from the Egyptians vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and garments;

36 Ref and Jehovah hath given the grace of the people in the eyes of the Egyptians, and they cause them to ask, and they spoil the Egyptians.

37 Ref And the sons of Israel journey from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, apart from infants;

38 Ref and a great rabble also hath gone up with them, and flock and herd -- very much cattle.

39 Ref And they bake with the dough which they have brought out from Egypt unleavened cakes, for it hath not fermented; for they have been cast out of Egypt, and have not been able to delay, and also provision they have not made for themselves.

40 Ref And the dwelling of the sons of Israel which they have dwelt in Egypt `is' four hundred and thirty years;

41 Ref and it cometh to pass, at the end of four hundred and thirty years -- yea, it cometh to pass in this self-same day -- all the hosts of Jehovah have gone out from the land of Egypt.

42 Ref A night of watchings it `is' to Jehovah, to bring them out from the land of Egypt; it `is' this night to Jehovah of watchings to all the sons of Israel to their generations.
