Exodus 12:34-51

34So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls wrapped up in their clothes on their shoulders.

35The Israelites acted on Moses’s word and asked the Egyptians for silver and gold items and for clothing.

36And the Lord gave the people such favor with the Egyptians that they gave them what they requested. In this way they plundered the Egyptians.

37The Israelites traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand able-bodied men on foot, besides their families.

38A mixed crowd also went up with them, along with a huge number of livestock, both flocks and herds.

39The people baked the dough they had brought out of Egypt into unleavened loaves, since it had no yeast; for when they were driven out of Egypt, they could not delay and had not prepared provisions for themselves.

40The time that the Israelites lived in Egypt was 430 years.

41At the end of 430 years, on that same day, all the Lord’s military divisions went out from the land of Egypt.

42It was a night of vigil in honor of the Lord, because he would bring them out of the land of Egypt. This same night is in honor of the Lord, a night vigil for all the Israelites throughout their generations.

43The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: no foreigner may eat it.

44But any slave a man has purchased may eat it, after you have circumcised him.

45A temporary resident or hired worker may not eat the Passover.

46It is to be eaten in one house. You may not take any of the meat outside the house, and you may not break any of its bones.

47The whole community of Israel must celebrate it.

48If an alien resides among you and wants to observe the Lord’s Passover, every male in his household must be circumcised, and then he may participate; he will become like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat it.

49The same law will apply to both the native and the alien who resides among you.”

50Then all the Israelites did this; they did just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.

51On that same day the Lord brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt according to their military divisions.
