And the Egyptians became urgent with the people, to send them in haste out of the land, - for they said - We all, are dying.

So the people took up their dough, ere yet it was leavened, - with their kneading-bowls, bound up in their mantles on their shoulders,

And the sons of Israel, did according to the word of Moses, - and asked of the Egyptians, articles of silver and articles of gold and mantles.

And Yahweh, gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians and they gave them gladly, - so they spoiled the Egyptians.

Then did the sons of Israel break up from Rameses, towards Succoth, - about six hundred thousand foot of men grown, besides little ones.

Moreover also, a mixed multitude, came up with them, - flocks also, and herds, exceeding much cattle,

Now, the time during which the sons of Israel dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.

A night of solemn observances, it is unto Yahweh, for bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt, - this same night, pertaineth to Yahweh, for solemn observances by all the sons of Israel to their generations.
