Context of Exodus 12:41
39With the dough they had brought from Egypt, they baked round, flat bread. The dough hadn’t risen because they’d been thrown out of Egypt and had no time to prepare food for the trip. 40The Israelites had been living in Egypt for 430 years. After exactly 430 years all the Lord’s people left Egypt in organized family groups. 42That night the Lord kept watch to take them out of Egypt. (All Israelites in future generations must keep watch on this night, since it is dedicated to the Lord.) 43The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “These are the rules for the Passover: “No foreigner may eat the Passover meal.
