Exodus 12:31-51

31Then 1he called for Moses and Aaron at night and said, “Rise up, 2get out from among my people, both you and the sons of Israel; and go, 3worship the Lord, as you have said. 32Take 4both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go, and bless me also.” 335The Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in a hurry, for they said, “We will all be dead.” 34So the people took 6their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls bound up in the clothes on their shoulders.

357Now the sons of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, for they had requested from the Egyptians articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; 36and the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have their request. Therefore they 8plundered the Egyptians.

37Now the 9sons of Israel journeyed from 10Rameses to Succoth, about 11six hundred thousand men on foot, aside from children. 38A 12mixed multitude also went up with them, 13along with flocks and herds, a 14very large number of livestock. 39And they baked the dough which they had brought out of Egypt into cakes of unleavened bread. For it had no yeast, since they were 15driven out of Egypt and could not delay, nor had they 16prepared any provisions for themselves.

40Now the time 17that the sons of Israel had lived in Egypt was 18430 years. 41And at the end of 430 years, on 19this very day, 20all the 21multitudes of the Lord departed from the land of Egypt. 4222It is a night 23to be observed for the Lord, for having brought them out of the land of Egypt; this night is for the Lord, 24to be observed by all the sons of Israel throughout their generations.

43And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of 25the Passover: no 2627foreigner is to eat it; 44but as for every 28slave 29that someone has purchased with money, after you have circumcised him, then he may eat it. 4530A stranger or a hired worker shall not eat it. 46It is to be eaten in a single house; you are not to bring any of the meat outside of the house, 31nor are you to break any bone of it. 4732All the congregation of Israel are to 33celebrate this. 48But 34if a stranger resides with you and 35celebrates the Passover to the Lord, all of his males are to be circumcised, and then he shall come near to 36celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised male may eat it. 493738The same law shall 39apply to the native as to the stranger who resides among you.”

50Then all the sons of Israel did so; they did just as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron. 51And on that very day 40the Lord brought the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt 41according to their 42multitudes.
