39 The Israelites used the dough they had brought out of Egypt to bake loaves of bread without yeast. The dough had no yeast in it, because they had been rushed out of Egypt and had no time to get food ready for their trip.
40 The people of Israel had lived in Egypt for four hundred thirty years;
41 on the very day the four hundred thirty years ended, the Lord’s divisions of people left Egypt.
42 That night the Lord kept watch to bring them out of Egypt, and so on this same night the Israelites are to keep watch to honor the Lord from now on.
43 The Lord told Moses and Aaron, “Here are the rules for Passover: No foreigner is to eat the Passover.
44 If someone buys a slave and circumcises him, the slave may eat the Passover.
45 But neither a person who lives for a short time in your country nor a hired worker may eat it.
