3 They ^adeparted from Rameses in ^bthe first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out ^cwith boldness in the sight of all the Egyptians.  ‡

4 For the Egyptians were burying all their firstborn, ^awhom the Lord had killed among them. Also ^bon their gods the Lord had executed judgments.  ‡
