Exodus 12:40-42
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
40 The time the Israelites had stayed in Egypt[a] was four hundred and thirty years.(A) 41 At the end of four hundred and thirty years, on this very date, all the armies of the Lord left the land of Egypt. 42 This was a night of vigil for the Lord, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt; so on this night all Israelites must keep a vigil for the Lord throughout their generations.
