  3. Exodus 12:38 Literally “a large mixture” (compare Jer 25:20; Ezek 30:5)

37 The Israelites journeyed from Rameses(A) to Sukkoth.(B) There were about six hundred thousand men(C) on foot, besides women and children. 38 Many other people(D) went up with them, and also large droves of livestock, both flocks and herds. 39 With the dough the Israelites had brought from Egypt, they baked loaves of unleavened bread. The dough was without yeast because they had been driven out(E) of Egypt and did not have time to prepare food for themselves.
