| Exodus 11:2 | *Therefore thou shalt tell all the people, that every man ask of his friend, and every woman of her neighbour, vessels of silver, and of gold. Exodus 3:22.; Exodus 12:35. | Ask; "not borrow," as the Protestants translate; nor "jewels of silver," but vessels, such as the princes offered at the dedication of the tabernacle, Numbers 7. The Samaritan and Septuagint add "and raiment," which they also asked for, (chap. 12:35,) according to God's command, Exodus 3:22. (Kennicott, 1. Dis. p. 391.) |
