Exodus 12:29-42

VIN(i) 29 And so at midnight the LORD struck down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the prisoner who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of the livestock. 30 Pharaoh got up during the night, he, all his officials, and all the Egyptians, and there was loud wailing in Egypt, for there was not a house without someone dead in it. 31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up! Get away from my people, both you and the sons of Israel! And go serve the LORD, as you have said. 32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go. And bless me also. 33 The Egyptians begged the people to leave the country quickly. They said: "We will all be dead soon!" 34 The people picked up their bread dough before it had risen. They carried it on their shoulders in bowls and wrapped up in their clothes. 35 Meanwhile, the Israelites had done as Moses said; they had asked the Egyptians for objects of silver and objects of gold, and for clothes. 36 The LORD had given the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, so that they gave them what they requested; and so they plundered the Egyptians. 37 The Israelites left Rameses to go to Succoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, plus all the women and children. 38 Many other people also went with them, along with large numbers of sheep, goats, and cattle. 39 With the dough they had brought from Egypt, they baked round, flat bread. The dough had not risen because they had been thrown out of Egypt and had no time to prepare food for the trip. 40 Now the time that the Israelites lived in Egypt was 430 years. 41 At the end of 430 years, to the very day, all the tribal divisions of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt. 42 That was for the LORD a night of vigil to bring them out of the land of Egypt. This same night belongs to the LORD, and shall be a vigil for all the Israelites from generation to generation.
