Pharaoh send for Moses and Aaron during the night. “Get out! he ordered. “Leave my people-and take all the rest of the Israelites with you! Go and worship the Lord as you have requested. Take your flocks and herds as you have said, and be gone. Go, but bless me as you leave.” All the Egyptians urged the people of Israel to get out of the land as quickly as possible, for they thought, “We all will die!” (vv. 31-33, NLT)
The Lord caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the Israelites, and they gave the Israelites whatever they asked for. So they stripped the Egyptians of their wealth!
That night the people of Israel left Rameses and started for Succoth. There were about 600,000 men, plus all the women and children. (vv. 36-37, NLT)
The people of Israel had lived in Egypt for 430 years. In fact, it was on the last day of the 430th year that all the Lord’s forces left the land. On this night the Lord kept His promise to bring His people out of Egypt. So this night belongs to Him, and it must be commemorated every year by all Israelites, from generation to generation. (vv. 40-42, NLT)
