What does Exodus 12:39 mean?

They baked the dough they brought from Egypt into flat bread, since it hadn’t risen. They had to leave Egypt so quickly, there was no time to prepare food the usual way. Exodus 12:39 - Modern Text Bible

(The unleavened bread is a direct result of their rushed departure—no time for normal baking.)
