Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 12:36
Lent - Or gave. The word in the Hebrew means simply “granted their request.” Whether the grant is made as a loan, or as a gift, depends in every instance upon the context. Here the word “spoiled” ought to be regarded as conclusive that the grant was a gift, a moderate remuneration for long service, and a compensation for cruel wrongs. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 12:1-36
The Passover (12:1-36)Until now the Israelites had escaped the judgment of the plagues without having to do anything, but now their safety depended on their carrying out God’s commands. Redemption involves faith and obedience.Each family would be delivered from judgment only by killing a sacrificial animal as substitute for it, and sprinkling the animal’s blood on the door of the house where the family lived. The sprinkled blood indicated to those outside that a substitutionary sacrifice had... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 12:31-36
"And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve Jehovah, as ye have said, Take both your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also. And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, to send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We are all dead men. And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading-troughs being bound up in their clothes... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 12:35
Exodus 12:35. They borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, &c.— This was the immediate command of God himself, ch. Exo 3:22 and, therefore, we might reasonably conclude, could not be any act of injustice, as proceeding from the great Fountain of right and truth: and, perhaps, the only reason which has caused such a suspicion, is the giving the improper idea of borrowing to the original word, שׁאל sheal, which strictly and properly signifies to ask, demand, or require, as the best... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Exodus 12:36
Exodus 12:36. They spoiled the Egyptians— So long ago as in the time of Abraham, this event had been foretold, Genesis 15:14. See Psalms 105:37. See also Waterland's Scripture vindicated, par. 2: p. 9. REFLECTIONS.—Observe, 1. Heavy the dreadful stroke descends. At midnight the destroyer comes: one awful groan awakens every family, and one united dolorous cry echoes through the land. What guilty sinner need not tremble at the thought of such a dread surprise? He that closes his eyes each night... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Exodus 12:35
35. children of Israel borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver—When the Orientals go to their sacred festivals, they always put on their best jewels. The Israelites themselves thought they were only going three days' journey to hold a feast unto the Lord, and in these circumstances it would be easy for them to borrow what was necessary for a sacred festival. But borrow conveys a wrong meaning. The word rendered borrow signifies properly to ask, demand, require. The Israelites had been kept... read more
