Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Exodus 3:22

Shall borrow - shall ask. The Egyptians had made the people serve “with rigor,” and the Israelites when about to leave the country for ever were to ask or claim the jewels as a just, though very inadequate, remuneration for services which had made “their lives bitter.” The Egyptians would doubtless have refused had not their feelings toward Moses (see Exodus 11:3) and the people been changed, under God’s influence, by calamities in which they recognized a divine interposition, which also they... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Exodus 3:22

Exodus 3:22. Every woman shall ask, שׁאלה , shaalah, (not borrow,) jewels. And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians God sometimes makes the enemies of his people not only to be at peace with them, but to be kind to them. And he has many ways of balancing accounts between the injured and the injurious, of righting the oppressed, and compelling those that have done wrong to make restitution. read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Exodus 3:13-22

The God of Israel (3:13-22)If Moses was to present himself to the people of Israel as the one who would lead them out of Egypt, he would need to convince them that he knew God’s purposes for them. But he doubted whether they would understand, since they did not know the character of him whom they vaguely called the God of their ancestors. In asking God for help in explaining his purposes to them, Moses was wanting to know not simply the name of God, but the character of the God who owned that... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 3:19-20

"And I know that the king of Egypt will not give you leave to go, no, not by a mighty hand, And I will put forth my hand, and smite Egypt with all my wonders which I will do in the midst thereof and after that he will let you go."In this passage, God briefed Moses regarding the ultimate success of the whole mission. Such knowledge was necessary for Moses who would, therefore, as a result, know EXACTLY what would happen at each step of the long and difficult confrontation with Pharaoh. God left... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Exodus 3:21-22

"And I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty: but every woman shall ask of her neighbor, and of her that sojourneth in her house, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment: and ye shall put them upon your sons, and upon your daughters; and ye shall despoil the Egyptians."Here again we encounter the indignation of the supermoralists who blame the God of heaven and earth with deceit and inmorality... read more

Exodus 3:19. Will not let you go, no, not by a mighty hand— But by a strong hand. Margin of our Bibles. i.e. But by the exertion of a strong and mighty power, which he will not be able to resist; and which shall subdue that hardness of heart, and backwardness to consent, which he will shew; see Exodus 6:1. Houbigant renders this, ni vis aderit portentorum; unless the force of miracles be exerted; which is rather a paraphrase than a translation: unless with a strong hand, seems the true... read more
