Exodus 12:37

Verse 37 of 51. The 12th of 40 chapters in Exodus, in The Law.

33The Egyptians were urgent with the people, to send them out of the land in haste, for they said, “We are all dead men.”

34The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.

35The 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.

36The LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they let them have what they asked. They plundered the Egyptians.

37The children of Israel traveled from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot who were men, in addition to children.

38A mixed multitude went up also with them, with flocks, herds, and even very much livestock.

39They 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.

40Now the time that the children of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred thirty years.

41At the end of four hundred thirty years, to the day, all of the LORD’s armies went out from the land of Egypt.
