Book of Exodus 81


35 And the children of Israel did as Moses had
commanded: and they asked of the Egyptians
vessels of silver and gold, and very much raiment.
36 And the Lord gave favour to the people in
the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto
them: and they stripped the Egyptians.
37 And the children of Israel set forward from
Ramesse to Socoth, being about six hundred
thousand men on foot, beside children.
38 And a mixed multitude, without number,
went up also with them, sheep and herds, and
beasts of divers kinds, exceeding many.
39 And they baked the meal, which a little
before they had brought out of Egypt in dough:
and they made hearth cakes unleavened: for it
could not be leavened, the Egyptians pressing
them to depart, and not suffering them to make
any stay; neither did they think of preparing any
meat.
40 And the abode of the children of Israel that
they made in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty
years.
41 Which being expired, the same day all the
army of the Lord went forth out of the land of
Egypt.
42 This is the observable night of the Lord,
when he brought them forth out of the land of
Egypt: this night all the children of Israel must
observe in their generations.
43 And the Lord said to Moses and Aaron:
This is the service of the Phase; no foreigner shall
eat of it.
44 But every bought servant shall be circum-
cised, and so shall eat.
45 The stranger and the hireling shall not eat
thereof.
46 In one house shall it be eaten, neither shall
you carry forth of the flesh thereof out of the
house, neither shall you break a bone thereof.


47 All the assembly of the children of Israel
shall keep it.
48 And if any stranger be willing to dwell
among you, and to keep the Phase of the Lord,
all his males shall first be circumcised, and then
shall he celebrate it according to the manner:
and he shall be as he that is born in the land:
but if any man be uncircumcised, he shall not
eat thereof.
49 The same law shall be to him that is born
in the land, and to the proselyte that sojourneth
with you.
50 And all the children of Israel did as the
Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron.
51 And the same day the Lord brought forth
the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by
their companies.

Chapter 13


And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying:
2 Sanctify unto me every firstborn that
openeth the womb among the children of Israel,
as well of men as of beasts: for they are all mine.
3 And Moses said to the people: Remember
this day in which you came forth out of Egypt,
and out of the house of bondage, for with a
strong hand hath the Lord brought you forth out
of this place: that you eat no leavened bread.
4 This day you go forth in the month of new
corn.
5 And when the Lord shall have brought thee
into the land of the Chanaanite, and the Het-
hite, and the Amorrhite, and the Hevite, and
the Jebusite, which he swore to thy fathers that
he would give thee, a land that floweth with milk
and honey, thou shalt celebrate this manner of
sacred rites in this month.
6 Seven days shalt thou eat unleavened bread:
