Exodus 12:34-51

34So the peopleH5971 tookH5375 their doughH1217 beforeH2962 it was leavenedH2556, carrying it onH5921 their shouldersH7926 in kneading bowlsH4863 wrappedH6887 in clothingH8071.

35Furthermore, the IsraelitesH1121H3478 actedH6213 on MosesH4872’ wordH1697 and askedH7592 the EgyptiansH4714 for articlesH3627 of silverH3701 andH3627 goldH2091, and for clothingH8071. 36And the LORDH3068 gaveH5414 the peopleH5971 such favorH2580 in the sightH5869 of the EgyptiansH4714 that they granted their requestH7592. In this way they plunderedH5337 the EgyptiansH4714.

37The IsraelitesH1121H3478 journeyedH5265 from RamesesH7486 to SuccothH55231 with about 600,000H8337H3967H505 menH1397 on footH7273, besidesH905 women and childrenH2945. 38And a mixedH6154 multitudeH7227 alsoH1571 went upH5927 with themH854, along with great droves ofH3515H3966 livestockH4735, both flocksH6629 and herdsH1241.

39SinceH3588 their doughH1217 had noH3808 leavenH2556, the people bakedH644 what they had broughtH3318 out of EgyptH4714 into unleavenedH4682 loavesH5692. ForH3588 when they had been driven outH1644 of EgyptH4714, they couldH3201 notH3808 delayH4102 andH1571 had notH3808 preparedH6213 any provisionsH6720 for themselves.

40Now the durationH4186 of the IsraelitesH1121H3478’ stayH3427 in EgyptH47142 was 430H7970H702H3967H8141 yearsH8141. 41At the endH7093 of the 430H7970H702H3967H8141H1961 yearsH8141, to theH2088 veryH6106 dayH3117, allH3605 the LORD’sH3068 divisionsH6635 went outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714. 42Because the LORDH3068 kept a vigilH8107 thatH1931 nightH3915 to bring themH3318 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714H1931, this sameH2088 nightH3915 is to be a vigil to the LORDH3068, to be observedH8107 by allH3605 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 for the generations to comeH1755.

43And the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872 and AaronH175, “ThisH2063 is the statuteH2708 of the PassoverH6453: NoH3605H3808 foreignerH1121H5236 is to eatH398 of it. 44But anyH3605 slaveH5650 who has been purchasedH376H4736H3701 may eatH398 of it, after you have circumcised himH4135. 45A temporary residentH8453 or hired handH7916 shall notH3808 eatH398 the Passover.

46It must be eatenH398 inside oneH259 houseH1004. You are notH3808 to takeH3318 any ofH4480 the meatH1320 outsideH4480H2351 the houseH1004, and you may notH3808 breakH7665 any of the bonesH6106.

47The wholeH3605 congregationH5712 of IsraelH3478 must celebrateH6213 itH853. 48IfH3588 a foreignerH1616 residesH1481 withH854 you and wants to celebrateH6213 the LORD’sH3068 PassoverH6453, all theH3605 malesH2145 in the household must be circumcisedH4135; thenH227 he may come nearH7126 to celebrate itH6213, and he shall beH1961 like a nativeH249 of the landH776H3605. But noH3808 uncircumcised manH6189 may eatH398 of it. 49The sameH259 lawH8451 shall applyH1961 to both the nativeH249 and the foreignerH1616 who residesH1481 among youH8432.”

50Then allH3605 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 didH6213 thisH3651—they didH6213 just asH834 the LORDH3068 had commandedH6680 MosesH4872 and AaronH175. 51AndH1961 on thatH2088 veryH6106 dayH3117 the LORDH3068 broughtH3318 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714 byH5921 their divisionsH6635.
