出埃及记 12:39

Chinese NCV (Simplified)

他們把從埃及帶出來的生麵烘成了無酵的圓餅。這生麵原是沒有發過酵的，因為他們被驅逐離開埃及，所以不能停留，也沒有為自己預備食糧。

他 们 用 埃 及 带 出 来 的 生 面 烤 成 无 酵 饼 。 这 生 面 原 没 有 发 起 ； 因 为 他 们 被 催 逼 离 开 埃 及 ， 不 能 耽 延 ， 也 没 有 为 自 己 预 备 甚 麽 食 物 。

Contextual Overview

³⁷ The Israelites traveled from Rameses to Succoth. There were about six hundred thousand men walking, not including the women and children. ³⁸ Many other people who were not Israelites went with them, as well as a large number of sheep, goats, and cattle. ³⁹ The Israelites used the dough they had brought out of Egypt to bake loaves of bread without yeast. The dough had no yeast in it, because they had been rushed out of Egypt and had no time to get food ready for their trip. ⁴⁰ The people of Israel had lived in Egypt for four hundred thirty years; ⁴¹ on the very day the four hundred thirty years ended, the Lord 's divisions of people left Egypt. ⁴² That night the Lord kept watch to bring them out of Egypt, and so on this same night the Israelites are to keep watch to honor the Lord from now on.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And they baked unleavened cakes,.... While they were at Succoth; but since that was a desert place, where could they get ovens to bake them in? they might lay them upon coals, and by frequent turning them bake them, or under hot ashes, under a pan covered with hot embers and coals, on an hearth, in which way cakes and other things are now baked with us in many places: of the quick way of dressing cakes in the eastern countries, :- and some render the word, "cakes under ashes" k which were made

of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt; for it was not leavened; of the manner of their bringing it,

:-, and the reason why it was not leavened follows:

because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry: to leaven their dough, in such haste did they go out from thence. When they are said to be "thrust out", it is not to be understood of force and compulsion used, or of any indecent and ill behaviour towards them; but of earnest entreaties and urgent persuasions to depart; though this no doubt gave rise to the stories told by Justin l, Tacitus m, and others, that they were drove and cast out of Egypt by force, because they were a filthy diseased people, infected with the scab, itch, and leprosy; whereas there was not a sick, unsound, infirm, and feeble person among them, as before observed:

neither had they prepared for themselves any victual; they had their flocks and their herds, out of which they could take for their use, and they had dough, though unleavened and unbaked; but they had nothing ready dressed; what remained of the passover lamb they were obliged to burn; they had nothing which was got by hunting or fishing, as the word n used signifies; neither venison nor fish, of the latter of which there was great plenty in Egypt.
