Exodus 12:35-36
v. 35: The Israelites followed Moses’ instructions and asked the Egyptians for silver, gold, and clothing. The Egyptians gave them what they asked for, because they were afraid and wanted the Israelites to leave as soon as possible. v. 36: God made the Egyptians feel generous toward the Israelites, so they gave them many valuable things. In this way, the Israelites left Egypt with wealth. This was God’s way of giving his people what they deserved after years of hard work and suffering (Psalm 146:7; Proverbs 13:22; Job 27:16-17). God showed that he is in control of everything, and he can turn even the wealth of sinners to benefit those who trust in him.
