At the end of the four hundred thirty years
This phrase marks a significant moment in the history of the Israelites. The "four hundred thirty years" refers to the period that the Israelites spent in Egypt, which began with the arrival of Jacob and his family during the time of Joseph. The Hebrew root for "years" (שָׁנִים, shanim) emphasizes the passage of time and the fulfillment of God's promises. Historically, this period is seen as a time of both growth and oppression for the Israelites, as they multiplied greatly but also became enslaved. This duration underscores God's faithfulness in keeping His covenant with Abraham, as mentioned in Genesis 15:13-14, where God foretold the affliction and eventual deliverance of Abraham's descendants.

to the very day
This phrase highlights the precision and faithfulness of God's timing. The Hebrew word for "day" (יוֹם, yom) is often used to denote a specific, divinely appointed time. The expression "to the very day" suggests that God's plans are executed with exactness and reliability. It serves as a reminder that God's promises are not vague or indefinite but are fulfilled with meticulous accuracy. This precision is a source of inspiration and assurance for believers, affirming that God's timing in their lives is perfect and trustworthy.

all the LORD’s divisions
The term "divisions" (צִבְאוֹת, tsiv'ot) is often translated as "hosts" or "armies," indicating an organized and structured group. This phrase reflects the transformation of the Israelites from a group of enslaved people into a divinely ordered community, ready to embark on their journey to the Promised Land. The use of "LORD" (יְהוָה, Yahweh) emphasizes the covenantal relationship between God and His people. It is a reminder of God's sovereignty and His role as the divine commander leading His people out of bondage. This imagery of divine leadership and organization inspires believers to trust in God's guidance and provision in their own lives.

departed from the land of Egypt
The departure from Egypt, known as the Exodus, is a pivotal event in the history of Israel. The Hebrew word for "departed" (יָצָא, yatsa) conveys the idea of going out or being delivered. This act of liberation is not just a physical relocation but a spiritual and communal transformation. Egypt, often symbolizing sin and oppression, represents the old life from which God redeems His people. The Exodus is a powerful testament to God's saving power and His ability to deliver His people from bondage. For Christians, it foreshadows the ultimate deliverance through Jesus Christ, who frees believers from the bondage of sin. This historical event encourages believers to reflect on their own spiritual journey and the freedom they have in Christ.

(41) The selfsame day . . . all the hosts . . . went out.--All started, i.e., on one and the same day--the fifteenth of the month Abib. Some would start during the night, some in the morning, others at different periods of the day. They had different distances to traverse in order to reach the appointed halt, Succoth.

Verse 41. - The self-same day... all the hosts went out. The setting forth upon the journey is regarded as the "going out" - not the actual exit, which was only effected by the passage of the Red Sea.
