Exodus 12:34-51
34So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, with their kneading troughs bound up in their clothing on their shoulders.
35Now the Israelites had done as Moses told them – they had requested from the Egyptians silver and gold items and clothing.
36The Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, and they gave them whatever they wanted, and so they plundered Egypt.
37The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about 600,000 men on foot, plus their dependants.
38A mixed multitude also went up with them, and flocks and herds – a very large number of cattle.
39They baked cakes of bread without yeast using the dough they had brought from Egypt, for it was made without yeast – because they were thrust out of Egypt and were not able to delay, they could not prepare food for themselves either.
40Now the length of time the Israelites lived in Egypt was 430 years.
41At the end of the 430 years, on the very day, all the regiments of the Lord went out of the land of Egypt.
42It was a night of vigil for the Lord to bring them out from the land of Egypt, and so on this night all Israel is to keep the vigil to the Lord for generations to come.
43The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner may share in eating it.
44But everyone’s servant who is bought for money, after you have circumcised him, may eat it.
45A foreigner and a hired worker must not eat it.
46It must be eaten in one house; you must not bring any of the meat outside the house, and you must not break a bone of it.
47The whole community of Israel must observe it.
48“When a foreigner lives with you and wants to observe the Passover to the Lord, all his males must be circumcised, and then he may approach and observe it, and he will be like one who is born in the land – but no uncircumcised person may eat of it.
49The same law will apply to the person who is native-born and to the foreigner who lives among you.”
50So all the Israelites did exactly as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron.
51And on this very day the Lord brought the Israelites out of the land of Egypt by their regiments.
