The Israelites Leave Egypt (EXO 12:37-42)

[12:37] The Israelites set out on foot from Rameses for Sukkoth. There were about 600,000 men, not counting women and children.

[12:38] A large number of other people and many sheep, goats, and cattle also went with them.

[12:39] They baked unleavened bread from the dough that they had brought out of Egypt, for they had been driven out of Egypt so suddenly that they did not have time to get their food ready or to prepare leavened dough.

[12:40] The Israelites had lived in Egypt for 430 years.

[12:41] On the day the 430 years ended, all the tribes of the Lord's people left Egypt.

[12:42] It was a night when the Lord kept watch to bring them out of Egypt; this same night is dedicated to the Lord for all time to come as a night when the Israelites must keep watch.
