29. At midnight, the Lord struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of livestock.
30. Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
31. He called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, “Rise up, get out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as you have said!
32. Take both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also!”
33. The Egyptians were urgent with the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, “We are all dead men.”
34. The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.
35. 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 clothing.
36. The Lord gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. They plundered the Egyptians.
37. The children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, in addition to children.
38. A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much livestock.
39. They baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought out of Egypt; for it wasn’t leavened, because they were thrust out of Egypt, and couldn’t wait, and they had not prepared any food for themselves.
40. Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred thirty years.
41. At the end of four hundred thirty years, to the day, all of the Lord’s armies went out from the land of Egypt.
42. It 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 much observed of all the children of Israel throughout their generations.
43. The Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it,
44. but every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.
45. A foreigner and a hired servant shall not eat of it.
