Exodus 12:35-42 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

35. And the sons of Israel did just as Moses had instructed. And they petitioned the Egyptians for vessels of silver and of gold, and very many garments.

36. Then the Lord granted favor to the people in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they bestowed on them. And they despoiled the Egyptians.

37. And the sons of Israel set out from Rameses to Soccoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides little ones.

38. But also an innumerable mix of common people ascended with them, sheep and herds and animals of diverse kinds, exceedingly many.

39. And they baked the bread, which a little while ago they had taken out of Egypt as dough. And they made unleavened bread baked under ashes. For it was not able to be leavened, with the Egyptians compelling them to leave and not permitting them to cause any delay. Neither did they have occasion to prepare any meat.

40. Now the habitation of the sons of Israel, while they remained in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

41. Having been completed, on the same day all the army of the Lord departed from the land of Egypt.

42. This night is a worthy observance of the Lord, when he led them out of the land of Egypt. This all the sons of Israel must observe in their generations.
