- Exodus 12:39, with translation of the Jewish Publication Society:
  ‏וַיֹּאפוּ אֶת־הַ בָּצֵק אֲשֶׁר הוֹצִיאוּ מִ מִּצְרַיִם עֻגֹת מַצּוֹת כִּי לֹא חָמֵץ כִּי־גֹרְשׁוּ מִ מִּצְרַיִם וְ לֹא יָכְלוּ לְהִתְמַהְמֵהַּ וְ גַם־צֵדָה לֹא־עָשׂוּ לָהֶם׃‎‎
  vayofú 'et-habatsék 'ashér hotsí'u mimitsráyim 'ugót matsót kí ló khaméts ki-gor'shú mimitsráyim v'ló yakh'lú l'hitmahméah v'gam-tsedá lo-'asú lahém.
  wayyōp̄ū ʾeṯ-habbāṣēq ʾăšer hōṣī́ʾū mimmiṣráyim ʿūḡōṯ maṣṣōṯ kī lō ḥāmēṣ kī-ḡōrəšū mimmiṣráyim wəlō yāḵəlū ləhiṯmahmḗah wəḡam-ṣēḏā lō-ʿāśū lāhem.
  And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.
- (Can we date this quote?), Anonymous, The Thirteen Principles of Faith According to Maimonides:
  
  ‏אֲנִי מַאֲמִין בֶּ אֱמוּנָה שְׁלֵמָה. בְּבִיאַת הַ מָּשִׁיחַ. וְ אַף עַל פִּי שֶׁיִּתְמַהְמֵהַּ. עִם כָּל זֶה אֲחַכֶּה לּוֹ בְּ כָל יוֹם שֶׁ יָּבוֹא:‎‎
  I believe with complete faith in the coming of the messiah, and even though he may tarry, nonetheless I shall wait every day for him to come.
