¹⁹ But I know that the king of Egypt will not let you go unless a mighty hand^(A) compels him.

²⁰ So I will stretch out my hand^(A) and strike the Egyptians with all the wonders^(B) that I will perform among them. After that, he will let you go.^(C)

⁴ he will not listen^(A) to you. Then I will lay my hand on Egypt and with mighty acts of judgment^(B) I will bring out my divisions,^(C) my people the Israelites.

⁵ And the Egyptians will know that I am the Lord^(A) when I stretch out my hand^(B) against Egypt and bring the Israelites out of it.”

The Exodus

³¹ During the night Pharaoh summoned Moses and Aaron and said, “Up! Leave my people, you and the Israelites! Go, worship^(A) the Lord as you have requested.

³³ The Egyptians urged the people to hurry^(A) and leave^(B) the country. “For otherwise,” they said, “we will all die!”^(C)

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^(A) of Egypt and did not have time to prepare food for themselves.
