Exodus 12:34-51

34And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.1 35And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: 36And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they gave to them such things as they requested . And they plundered the Egyptians.

37And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, besides children. 38And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very many cattle.2 39And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought from Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were driven from Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any food. 40Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. 41And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the same day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD departed from the land of Egypt. 42It is a night to be much observed to the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the LORD to be observed by all the children of Israel in their generations.3

43And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat of it: 44But every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat of it. 45A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat of it. 46In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry any of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone of it. 47All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.4 48And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat of it. 49One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and to the stranger that sojourneth among you. 50Thus did all the children of Israel; as the LORD commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they. 51And it came to pass the same day, that the LORD brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
