Context of Exodus 12:35
33Now the Egyptians urged the people, sending them out of the land quickly, for they thought, “We will all be dead!” 34So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls bound up in their clothes on their shoulders. So Bnei-Yisrael acted according to the word of Moses. They asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold, and for clothing. 36Adonai gave the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians and let them have what they asked for. So they plundered the Egyptians. 37Then Bnei-Yisrael journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about 600,000 men on foot, as well as children.
