Exodus 12:35

"The people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes on their shoulders."

Key Reflection

In Exodus 12:35, the Israelites are instructed to take their unleavened dough and bind it up in their clothes, carrying the supplies on their shoulders as they prepare for their exodus from Egypt. This action was a practical measure ensuring that every family had the necessary provisions for their hurried departure, reflecting both the immediate need for speed and the faith required to trust God’s promise of deliverance without delay.
