Exodus 13:18 - Additional Comments

Note that even though they had lived as slaves all those years, they kept their history and their organization, i.e. their heritage. When they entered the Promised Land 40 years later, they still had distinct separation of the 12 tribes. And thus, they were able to leave Egypt in orderly ranks, in an organized fashion, not in chaos, like escaping a disaster.
