Re Tanakh versions:
Throughout this site I may use any of the
following three versions of the Tanakh: 1. “Jewish Publication Society” (JPS-1917), 2. “Mechon-Mamre.org”
(MEC), and 3. “Sefaria.org”
(SEF), three brilliant versions, although JPS-1917 is my preferred version!

I command you, NEITHER SHALL YE DIMINISH FROM
IT, that ye may keep the commandments of יְהוָה
אֱלֹהֵיכֶם - the LORD your Eloleichem,
which I command you”. Davarim - Deuteronomy 4:2. (JPS-1917).

Explanation: Verses 29-30: At midnight, the Tenth Plague strikes. From the firstborn of Pharaoh to the firstborn of the captive in the dungeon, no Egyptian house is spared. A “great cry” rises up, for there was “not an Egyptian house where there was not one dead”.

the children of
Explanation: Verses 31-32: Pharaoh
summons Moses and Aaron in the night. He no longer sets conditions. He tells them to
go, take their flocks, and even asks for a blessing, a total
reversal of his previous arrogance.
33. And the Egyptians were urgent upon
the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said: ‘We are all
dead men’. 34. And the people took their dough
before it was leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes
upon their shoulders.
Explanation: Verses 33-34: The

asked”. They despoiled
37. And the children of
Explanation: Verses 37-38: The
journey begins from Rameses to Succoth. About 600,000 men on foot,
besides children. A “mixed
multitude” (of
non-Israelites who recognised the power of אֱלֹהִים - Elohim - God) also went up with them, along with vast amounts of
livestock.
39. And they baked unleavened cakes
of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened;

prepared for themselves any victual.

Explanation: Verse 42: This
is called a “night of watching” (Leil Shimurim) unto יְהוָה
- the LORD. It is a night dedicated to אֱלֹהִים - Elohim for all generations.
43. And יְהוָה - the LORD said unto Moses and Aaron: ‘This is the ordinance of the Passover: there shall no alien
eat thereof; 44. but every man’s servant that is bought for money, when thou
hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof. 45 A
sojourner and a hired servant shall not eat thereof. 46. In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt
not carry forth aught of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye
break a bone thereof. 47. All

law for the home-born and the stranger
who sojourns among you.
