Exodus 12:37Conservative English VersionThe Israelites walked from the city of Rameses to the city of Succoth. There were about six hundred thousand of them, not counting women and children. See the chapter |
Israel left the Egyptian city of Rameses on the fifteenth day of the first month. This was the day after the LORD had punished Egypt's gods by killing the first-born sons in every Egyptian family. So while the Egyptians were burying the bodies, they watched the Israelites proudly leave their country.
