Then Pharao arose the same night and all his servants
and all the Egyptians, and there was a great crying thorowout
Egypt, for there was no house where there was not one dead. And he
called unto Moses and Aaron by night saying: Rise up, and get you
out from among my people: both ye and also the children of Israel,
and go and serve the LORD as ye have said. And take your sheep and
your oxen with you as ye have said, and depart and bless me also.
And the Egyptians were fierce upon the people and made haste to
send them out of the land: for they said: we be all dead men. And
the people took the dough before it was soured which they had in
store, and bound it in cloths, and put it upon their shoulders.
And the children of Israel did according to the saying of Moses:
and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of
gold, and raiment. And the LORD gat the people favour in the sight
of the Egyptians: and so they borrowed and robbed the Egyptians.
Thus took the children of Israel their journey from Rameses to
Sucoth six hundred thousand men of foot, beside children. And much
common people went also with them, and sheep, and oxen, and cattle
exceeding much. And they baked sweet cakes of the dough which they
brought out of Egypt, for it was not soured: because they were
thrust out of Egypt and could not tarry, neither had they prepared
them any other provision of meat.
