1
And it came to pass that at midnighta YHVHb send Mal’akh Ha’Mavetc and he smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne, unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.
2
And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.
3
And Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron by night and said: Rise up and get you forth from among my people, both ye and all of Israel; and go; serve YHVH as ye have said;
4
Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
5
And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said: We have found our firstborn all dead; therefore, get ye out of the land, lest we die also.
6
And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
7
And all of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they did take unto themselves of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment;
8
And YHVH did give the people favora in the sight of the Egyptians so that they did give unto them such things as they required;
9
And thus did Israel plunder the Egyptians, even as YHVH has spokena.
10
Moreover, the mana Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and in the sight of the people.
11
And the Israelites baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt (for it was not leavened) because they were thrust out of Egypt and could not tarry; neither had they prepared for themselves any victualsa.
12
And it came to pass the selfsame day that YHVH did bring the His children, Israel, out of the land of Egypt:
13
And Moses did take the bones of Joseph with him; for Joseph had straightly sworna the children of Jacob, saying: Elohim will surely visit you; and ye shall carry up my bones away hence with you.
14
¶ And it came to pass that they took their journey from Egypt into the wildernessa, the land of Mormona;
15
And YHVH went before them by day in a pillar of a clouda, to lead them the way, and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light—to go by day and night.
16
And YHVH took not away the pillar of the cloud by day nor the pillar of fire by night from before the people.
