Exodus 12:29-51

Exodus 12:29-51

[29] And it came to pass, that at midnight  the LORD  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;  serve  the LORD,  as ye have said.  [32] Also take  your flocks  and your herds,  as ye have said,  and bless  [33] were urgent  upon the people,  that they might send  them out of the land  in haste;  for they said,  We be all dead  [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  jewels  of silver,  and jewels  of gold,  and raiment:  [36] And the LORD  gave  the people  favour  in the sight  so that they lent  unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled  [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 LORD  went out  from the land  of Egypt.  [42] It is a night  to be much observed  unto the LORD  for bringing  them out from the land  of Egypt:  this is that night  of the LORD  to be observed  of all the children  of Israel  in their generations.  [43] And the LORD  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  [48] And when a stranger  shall sojourn  with thee, and will keep  the passover  to the LORD,  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  [50] Thus did  all the children  of Israel;  as the LORD  commanded  Moses  and Aaron,  so did  they. [51] And it came to pass the selfsame  day,  that the LORD  did bring  the children  of Israel  out of the land  of Egypt  by their armies.
