28
And the children of Israel went away, and did as the L
ORD
had commanded
Moses and Aaron, so did they.
29
And it came to pass, that at midnight the L
ORD
smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt,
from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that
was
in the
dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
30
And 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
And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up,
and
get you forth from among
my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the L
ORD
, as ye have said.
32
Also take
your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
33
And the Egyptians
were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We
be
all dead
men.
34
And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs
being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
35
And the children of Israel did according to
the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and
raiment:
36
And the L
ORD
gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto
them
such things as they required.
And they spoiled the Egyptians.
37
And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand
on foot
that were
men, beside children.
38
And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and
flocks, and herds,
even
very much cattle.
39
And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which
they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and
could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
40
Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt,
was
four hundred and thirty
years.
41
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day
it came to pass, that all the hosts of the L
ORD
went out from the land of Egypt.
42
It
is
a night to be
much observed unto the L
ORD
for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this
is
that night of
the L
ORD
to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.
43
And the L
ORD
said unto Moses and Aaron, This
is
the ordinance of the passover: There shall
no stranger eat thereof:
44
But every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou hast
circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.
45
A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.
46
In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house;
neither shall ye break a bone thereof.
47
All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
48
And when a
stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the L
ORD
, let all his males be
circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land:
for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.
49
One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and
unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.
50
Thus did all the children of Israel; as the L
ORD
commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
51
And it came to pass the selfsame day,
that
the L
ORD
did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.
