TSK · Exodus 12:37

Then I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you, and I will make your name great, so that you will exemplify divine blessing.

He said,“I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.

So they put foremen over the Israelites to oppress them with hard labor. As a result they built Pithom and Rameses as store cities for Pharaoh.

And all those numbered totaled 603,550.

Moses said,“The people around me are 600,000 on foot; but you say,‘I will give them meat, that they may eat for a whole month.’

They departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Passover the Israelites went out defiantly in plain sight of all the Egyptians.
