7971. Verses 37-39 And the children of Israel travelled from Rameses to Succoth, around six hundred thousand men (vir) on foot, besides young children. And also a large mixed crowd went up with them, and flocks and herds, an extremely large acquisition of them. And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt - unleavened cakes, since no yeast was added, because they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, and also had not made for themselves provision for the way.

'And the children of Israel travelled from Rameses to Succoth' means the first state of departure and the essential nature of it. 'Around six hundred thousand men on foot' means all aspects of the truth and good of faith in their entirety. 'Besides young children' means the good of innocence. 'And also a large mixed crowd' means truths [and forms of good] 1 that were not genuine. 'Went up with them' means which were joined on. 'And flocks and herds, an extremely large acquisition of them' means good acquired through truth, interior and exterior, a great abundance of it. 'And they baked the dough which they brought out of Egypt - unleavened cakes' means that from the truth of good further good was produced that had no falsity at all in it. 'Since no yeast was added' means since the truth from good had no falsity at all within it. 'Because they were driven out of Egypt and could not wait' means because they were removed from those steeped in falsity arising from evil. 'And also had not made for themselves provision for the way' means that they did not have with them any other support from truth and good.
