Exodus 12:40

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

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.

42It is a night to be much observed to the LORD for bringing them out from the land of Egypt. This is that night of the LORD, to be much observed by all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

43The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover. No foreigner shall eat of it,

44but every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then shall he eat of it.
