出埃及記12: 31-42

12:31 夜間，法老召了摩西、亞倫來，說：「起來！連你們帶以色列人，從我民中出去，依你們所說的，去事奉耶和華吧！
12:32 也依你們所說的，連羊群牛群帶著走吧！並要為我祝福。」
12:33 埃及人催促百姓，打發他們快快出離那地，因為埃及人說：「我們都要死了。」
12:34 百姓就拿著沒有酵的生麵，把摶麵盆包在衣服中，扛在肩頭上。
12:35 以色列人照著摩西的話行，向埃及人要金器、銀器，和衣裳。
12:36 耶和華叫百姓在埃及人眼前蒙恩，以致埃及人給他們所要的。他們就把埃及人的財物奪去了。
12:37 以色列人從蘭塞起行，往疏割去；除了婦人孩子，步行的男人約有六十萬。
12:38 又有許多閒雜人，並有羊群牛群，和他們一同上去。
12:39 他們用埃及帶出來的生麵烤成無酵餅。這生麵原沒有發起；因為他們被催逼離開埃及，不能耽延，也沒有為自己預備甚麼食物。
12:40 以色列人住在埃及共有四百三十年。
12:41 正滿了四百三十年的那一天，耶和華的軍隊都從埃及地出來了。
12:42 這夜是耶和華的夜；因耶和華領他們出了埃及地，所以當向耶和華謹守，是以色列眾人世世代代該謹守的。

³¹ During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship the Lord as you have requested. ³² Take your flocks and herds, as you have said, and go. And also bless me.”
³³ The Egyptians urged the people to hurry and leave the country. “For otherwise,” they said, “we will all die!” ³⁴ So the people took their dough before the yeast was added, and carried it on their shoulders in kneading troughs wrapped in clothing. ³⁵ The Israelites did as Moses instructed and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold and for clothing. ³⁶ The Lord had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered the Egyptians.
³⁷ The Israelites journeyed from Rameses to Sukkoth. There were about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides women and children. ³⁸ Many other people 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 of Egypt and did not have time to prepare food for themselves.
⁴⁰ Now the length of time the Israelite people lived in Egypt^[b] was 430 years. ⁴¹ At the end of the 430 years, to the very day, all the Lord’s divisions left Egypt. ⁴² Because the Lord kept vigil that night to bring them out of Egypt, on this night all the Israelites are to keep vigil to honor the Lord for the generations to come.

    本來是出不去的，現在可以離開了！對以色列人和摩西來說，這是一個大好消息！而且，是被請出去的，是名正言順得離開埃及，這實在是太美了！

    不僅如此，還可以對以前欺負他們的埃及人，要求東、要求西，都沒有問題，大家就是盼望他們快快離開！

    為什麼有這樣的轉變呢？因為耶和華上帝行了大事，讓這些埃及人不敢再欺負以色列人！他們怕以色列人再待下去，埃及就要完蛋了！這次，法老王真的受不了了！

    可見上帝所要行的事，是人所抵擋不了！但是，人通常是到受不了的時候，才會放下順福！也因為這樣，人必須要有聖靈的引導，才會快快悔改、尊主為大！也因此，信主和服事主，是聖靈動工的結果，是出於上帝的恩典！
