Exodus 12:32-38

32Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.”

33The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country. “For otherwise,” they said, “we will all die!”

34So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs wrapped in clothing.

35The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing.

36The Lord had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians.

37The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children.

38Many other people went up with them, and also large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds.
