Exodus 12:29-51 - Death Of Firstborn And Deliverance From Egypt
29 At midnight Jehovah killed every firstborn male in Egypt from the firstborn son of Pharaoh who ruled the land to the firstborn son of the prisoner in jail, and also every firstborn animal. 30 Pharaoh, all his officials, and all the other Egyptians got up during the night. There was loud crying throughout Egypt because in every house someone had died. 31 Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron during the night. He said: You and the Israelites must leave my people at once. Go serve Jehovah just as you requested. 32 Take your flocks and herds, too, as you asked. Just go! And bless me, too!
33 The Egyptians begged the people to leave the country quickly. They said: We will all be dead soon! 34 The people picked up their bread dough before it had risen. They carried it on their shoulders in bowls and wrapped up in their clothes.
35 The sons of Israel did what Moses told them. They asked the Egyptians for gold and silver jewelry and for clothes. 36 Jehovah made the Egyptians generous to the people. They gave them what they asked for. So the sons of Israel stripped Egypt of its wealth.
37 The Israelites left Rameses to go to Succoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, plus all the women and children. 38 Many other people also went with them, along with large numbers of sheep, goats, and cattle. 39 With the dough they had brought from Egypt, they baked round, flat bread. The dough had not risen because they had been thrown out of Egypt and had no time to prepare food for the trip.
40 The Israelites had been living in Egypt for four hundred and thirty years. 41 After exactly four hundred and thirty years all of Jehovah's people left Egypt in organized family groups. 42 It is a night to be observed for Jehovah for having brought them out from the land of Egypt. This night is for Jehovah and should be observed by all the sons of Israel throughout their generations.
43 Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron: This is the ordinance of the Passover: no foreigner is to eat of it. 44 After you have circumcised your purchased slave he may eat of it. 45 No foreigner visiting you may eat it. No hired worker may eat it. 46 The meal must be eaten inside one house. Never take any of the meat outside the house. Do not break any of the bones. 47 The entire community of Israel must celebrate the Passover. 48 The uncircumcised man may not eat it. If a foreigner has settled among you and wants to celebrate Passover to honor Jehovah, you must first circumcise all the males of his household. He is then to be treated like a native-born Israelite and may join in the festival. 49 The same regulations apply to native-born Israelites and to foreigners who settle among you.
50 All the Israelites obeyed. They did what Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron. 51 On that day Jehovah brought the Israelite tribes out of Egypt.
