Exodus 12:41
And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.
Exodus 12:41
“At the end of the four hundred and thirty years” emphasizes the precise timing of release—an appointed moment in God’s plan. The text says, “all the hosts of the LORD went out,” highlighting a collective exodus led by divine command. The timing underscores God’s faithfulness to fulfill His promises.
The language of “the selfsame day” stresses divine sovereignty and certainty. The deliverance is not a coincidence but a divinely orchestrated event with cosmic significance in the biblical narrative.
In your personal life, timing can be a sign of God’s fidelity:
- Trust that God’s timing is purposeful even when you don’t understand the calendar.
- Mark significant “leaving” moments with remembrance—a ritual of release and new beginnings.
- Expect God to lead you with clarity in major life transitions and align your steps with His timing.
