Exodus 12:40-42

New International Reader's Version

⁴⁰ The Israelites lived in Egypt for 430 years. ⁴¹ Then all the Lord’s people marched out of Egypt like an army. That happened at the end of the 430 years, to the exact day. ⁴² The Lord kept watch that night to bring them out of Egypt. So on that same night every year all the Israelites must keep watch. They must do it to honor the Lord for all time to come.
