40 The Israelites had lived in Egypt[a] for 430 years. 41 After 430 years, to the very day, all the armies of the Lord[b] left Egypt. 42 The night they left, the Lord watched over them to bring them safely out of Egypt. So the Israelites will always celebrate this night each year to remember what the Lord did.
