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 was afour 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 is a1a 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 is athe 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.
45 aA 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.
47 aAll the congregation of Israel shall keep it.
48 And awhen a stranger dwells with you and wants 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.
49 aOne 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.
51 aAnd 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.
