37 Then athe children of Israel journeyed from bRameses to Succoth, about csix hundred thousand men on foot, besides children.
38 A amixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds—a great deal of blivestock.
39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because athey were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared provisions for themselves.
40 Now the1 sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in2 Egypt wasafour hundred and thirty years.
41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years—on that very same day—it came to pass that aall the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.
42 It isa1a night of solemn observance to the Lord for bringing them out of the land of Egypt. This is that night of the Lord, a solemn observance for all the children of Israel throughout their generations.
Passover Regulations
43 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “This isathe ordinance of the Passover: No foreigner shall eat it.
44 But every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have acircumcised him, then he may eat it.
45aA sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat it.
46 In one house it shall be eaten; you shall not carry any of the flesh outside the house, anor shall you break one of its bones.
48 And awhen a stranger dwells with you andwants to 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 a native of the land. For no uncircumcised person shall eat it.
49aOne law shall be for the native-born and for the stranger who dwells among you.”
50 Thus all the children of Israel did; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.
51aAnd it came to pass, on that very same day, that the Lord brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt baccording to their armies.
EXODUS, a "going forth," derives its name from its being occupied principally with a relation of the departure of the Israelites from Egypt, and the incidents that immediately preceded as well as followed that memorable migration. Its authorship by Moses is distinctly asserted by himself (Exodus 24:4), as well as by our Lord (Mark 12:26; Luke 20:37). Besides, the thorough knowledge it exhibits of the institutions and usages of the ancient Egyptians and the minute geographical details of the journey to Sinai, establish in the clearest manner the authenticity of this book.
