Exodus
Chapter 12 (Continued)
31
And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said,
"Rise
up, and get you forth from among My people,
both
you and the children of Israel.
Go, serve Jehovah/God, as you have said. 32
Also
take your flocks and your herds,
as
you have said, and be gone.
Bless me also. 33
And
the Egyptians 'pressed hard'/'rushed the people,
that
they might send them out of the land in a hurry
for
they said, "We will all be dead men."
34
And the people took their dough before it was leavened,
their
kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes
upon
their shoulders.
35
And the children of Israel did
according
to the word of Moses.
And
they 'kept on seeking'
of
the Egyptians
jewels
of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment.
36
And Jehovah/God gave the people grace/favor
in
the sight of the Egyptians,
so
that they were caused to grant/lend/'hand over'
unto
them such things as they required.
And
they 'intensively stripped off'/spoiled/plundered
the
Egyptians.
{Note: The Jews were slaves for generations. God caused the Egyptians to voluntarily hand over a lot of their immense wealth to the Jews as these former slaves left Egypt.}
37
And the sons of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth . . .
about
six hundred thousand on foot who were men . . .
besides/'not
counting' the children/'little ones'.
{Note: Apparently this verse is letting us know that the men of age for war was about 600,000.}
38
And a mixed multitude went up also with them . . .
and
flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.
{Note: So, here the women and children are mentioned, but the exact numbers are not given.}
39
And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough
which
they brought forth out of Egypt,
for
it was not leavened.
Because
they were tossed out of Egypt,
and
could not delay/tarry . . .
neither
had they prepared for themselves any victual/provisions.
40
Now the sojourning/'strangers passing though a strange land'
of
the children of Israel,
who
dwelt in Egypt,
was
four hundred and thirty years.
41
And it came to pass
at
the end of the four hundred and thirty years,
even
the selfsame day it came to pass,
that
all the hosts/people {tsaba'} of Jehovah/God
{ tsaba' is also the word for armies, but here it means the people}
went
out from the land of Egypt.
42
It is a night to be much observed unto Jehovah/God
for
causing them to be brought
out
from the land of Egypt.
This
is that night of Jehovah/God
to
be observed of all the children of Israel
in
their generations.
43
And Jehovah/God said unto Moses and Aaron,
"This
is the ordinance of the Passover.
There shall no stranger eat thereof. 44
But
every man's servant that is bought for money,
when
you have circumcised him,
then
shall he eat thereof. 45
A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof. 46
In one house shall it be eaten.
You
shall not carry forth any of the flesh
abroad
out of the house.
Neither
shall you break a bone thereof. 47
{none of Jesus Christ's bones were broken in His crucifixion}
All the congregation of Israel shall keep it. 48
And
when a stranger shall sojourn with you,
and
will keep the Passover to Jehovah/God,
let
all his males be circumcised,
and
then let him come near and keep it.
And
he shall be as one who is born in the land . . .
for
no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof. 49
One
law shall be to him who is home-born,
and
unto the stranger that sojourns among you."
50 Thus did all the children of Israel.
As Jehovah/God commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
51
And it came to pass the selfsame day,
that
Jehovah/God did cause to bring
the
children of Israel out of the land of Egypt
by
their hosts/people.
