Exodus 12:35-51 ▼

35 Now the sons of Israel had done according to the word of Moses—they had asked from the Egyptians for articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing;

36 and Yahweh had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. Thus they plundered the Egyptians.

37 And the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, aside from the little ones.

38 A foreign multitude also went up with them, along with flocks and herds, a very large number of livestock.

39 And they baked the dough which they had brought out of Egypt into cakes of unleavened bread. For it had not become leavened, since they were driven out of Egypt and could not delay, nor had they prepared any provisions for themselves.

40 Now the time that the sons of Israel lived in Egypt was 430 years.

41 And it happened at the end of 430 years, to the very day, that all the hosts of Yahweh went out from the land of Egypt.

42 It is a night to be kept for Yahweh for having brought them out from the land of Egypt; this night is for Yahweh, to be kept by all the sons of Israel throughout their generations.

43 And Yahweh said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the statute of the Passover: no foreigner shall eat of it;

44 but every man’s slave purchased with money, after you have circumcised him, then he may eat of it.

45 A foreign resident or a hired person shall not eat of it.

46 It shall be eaten in a single house; you shall not bring forth any of the flesh outside of the house, and you shall not break any bone of it.

47 All the congregation of Israel shall celebrate this.

48 But if a sojourner sojourns with you and celebrates the Passover to Yahweh, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near to celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat of it.

49 The same law shall apply to the native as to the sojourner who sojourns among you.”

50 So all the sons of Israel did; as Yahweh had commanded Moses and Aaron, thus they did.

51 And on that same day Yahweh brought the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their hosts.
