Context of Exodus 11:2
1And Jehovah said to Moses, Yet one plague will I bring upon Pharaoh, and upon Egypt; afterwards he will let you go hence: when he shall let [you] go altogether, he shall utterly drive you out hence. Speak now in the ears of the people, that they ask every man of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, utensils of silver and utensils of gold. 3And Jehovah gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt — in the eyes of Pharaoh's bondmen, and in the eyes of the people. 4And Moses said, Thus saith Jehovah: About midnight I will go out into the midst of Egypt.

Commentaries on Exodus 11:2
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 2Let every man borrow - For a proper correction of the strange mistranslation of the word שאל shaal in this verse, see Clarke's note on Exodus 3:22.Read the comment
- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 2Every man - In Exodus 3:22 only women were named; the command is more explicit when the time has come for its execution. Borrow - “ask.” See Exodus 3:22 note.Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-9The final plague was the death of the firstborn sons. The Egyptians worshiped life. They gave so much attention to preparations for life after death because they wanted to ensure that it would be at least as good as their lives in Egypt. Death itself is in God’s hand. There is no underworld god who can ultimately defeat the God of life. Both life and death belong to the Lord.Read the comment
- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 2-32-3. Speak now in the ears of the people--These verses, describing the communication which had been made in private to Moses, are inserted here as a parenthesis, and will be considered (Ex 12:35).Read the comment
