Then ^(C1)he called for Moses and Aaron at night and said, "Rise up, ^(C2)get out from among my people, both you and the sons of Israel; and go, ^(F1)worship the LORD, as you have said.

"Take ^(C1)both your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and go, and bless me also."

^(C1)The Egyptians urged the people, to send them out of the land in a hurry, for they said, "We will all be dead."

So the people took ^(C1)their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls bound up in the clothes on their shoulders.

^(C1)Now the sons of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, for they had requested from the Egyptians articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing;

and the LORD had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have their request. Therefore they ^(C1)plundered the Egyptians.

Now the ^(C1)sons of Israel journeyed from ^(C2)Rameses to Succoth, about ^(C3)six hundred thousand men on foot, aside from children.

A ^(C1)mixed multitude also went up with them, ^(F1)along with flocks and herds, a ^(C2)very large number of livestock.

And they baked the dough which they had brought out of Egypt into cakes of unleavened bread. For it had no yeast, since they were ^(C1)driven out of Egypt and could not delay, nor had they ^(F1)prepared any provisions for themselves.

Now the time ^(F1)that the sons of Israel had lived in Egypt was ^(C1)430 years.

And at the end of 430 years, on ^(C1)this very day, ^(C2)all the ^(F1)multitudes of the LORD departed from the land of Egypt.

^(C1)It is a night ^(F1)to be observed for the LORD, for having brought them out of the land of Egypt; this night is for the LORD, ^(F1)to be observed by all the sons of Israel throughout their generations.

And the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, "This is the ordinance of ^(C1)the Passover: no ^(F1)(C2)foreigner is to eat it;

but as for every ^(C1)slave ^(F1)that someone has purchased with money, after you have circumcised him, then he may eat it.

"^(C1)A stranger or a hired worker shall not eat it.

"It is to be eaten in a single house; you are not to bring any of the meat outside of the house, ^(C1)nor are you to break any bone of it.

"^(C1)All the congregation of Israel are to ^(F1)celebrate this.

"But ^(C1)if a stranger resides with you and ^(F1)celebrates the Passover to the LORD, all of his males are to be circumcised, and then he shall come near to ^(F2)celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised male may eat it.

"^(F1)(C1)The same law shall ^(F2)apply to the native as to the stranger who resides among you."

Then all the sons of Israel did so; they did just as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron.

And on that very day ^(C1)the LORD brought the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt ^(C2)according to their ^(F1)multitudes.
