Exodus 12:40 in Context — Exodus 12

38 Une multitude de gens de toute espèce montèrent avec eux; ils avaient aussi des troupeaux considérables de brebis et de bœufs.

39 Ils firent des gâteaux cuits sans levain avec la pâte qu’ils avaient emportée d’Égypte, et qui n’était pas levée; car ils avaient été chassés d’Égypte, sans pouvoir tarder, et sans prendre des provisions avec eux.

40 Le séjour des enfants d’Israël en Égypte fut de quatre cent trente ans.

41 Et au bout de quatre cent trente ans, le jour même, toutes les armées de l’Éternel sortirent du pays d’Égypte.

42 Cette nuit sera célébrée en l’honneur de l’Éternel, parce qu’il les fit sortir du pays d’Égypte; cette nuit sera célébrée en l’honneur de l’Éternel par tous les enfants d’Israël et par leurs descendants.
