During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Leave my people at once, you and the Israelites! Go and serve the Lord as you said."

"Take your flocks, too, and your herds, as you said, and go; and bless me, too!”

The Egyptians, in a hurry to send them away from the land, urged the people on, for they said, “All of us will die!”

The people, therefore, took their dough before it was leavened, in their kneading bowls wrapped in their cloaks on their shoulders.

And the Israelites did as Moses had commanded: they asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing.

Indeed the Lord had made the Egyptians so well-disposed toward the people that they let them have whatever they asked for. And so they despoiled the Egyptians.
