Exodus 12:31-36

31Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron during the night. “Get out!” he ordered. “Leave my people—and take the rest of the Israelites with you! Go and worship the Lord as you have requested.

32Take your flocks and herds, as you said, and be gone. Go, but bless me as you leave.”

33All the Egyptians urged the people of Israel to get out of the land as quickly as possible, for they thought, “We will all die!”

34The Israelites took their bread dough before yeast was added. They wrapped their kneading boards in their cloaks and carried them on their shoulders.

35And the people of Israel did as Moses had instructed; they asked the Egyptians for clothing and articles of silver and gold.

36The Lord caused the Egyptians to look favorably on the Israelites, and they gave the Israelites whatever they asked for. So they stripped the Egyptians of their wealth!
