Context of Exodus 12:35

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. And 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! 37That night the people of Israel left Rameses and started for Succoth. There were about 600,000 men, plus all the women and children.
