Exodus 12:33-36 says, "And the Egyptians \~ere urgent ipon the
people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they
said, We be all dead men. And the people took their dough before it
was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes
upon their shoulders. And the children of Israel did according to the
word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, .
and jewels of gold, and raiment: Aird the LORD gave the people favour in
the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as
they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians. "
The plan continued to unfold. Pharaoh ignored all of the plagues until
it came to the last one - the death of the firstborn, with his son losing
his life. That stirred him and he makes a decision to release the
people. Yet, even after the release, Pharaoh has a change of heart and
decided to go after the children of Israel who had made it to the brink
of The Red Sea. Because God had already spoken, even The Red Sea
would have to obey and not do any harm to God's people; however, as
Pharaoh and His army pursued, the Red Sea split allowing the
children of Israel to cross through on dry ground. But when
Pharaoh's crew thought they would have safe passage, God
commanded the Sea to close up on them causing every one of them to
drown, with even the chariots buried under water. When God
chooses to bless you, nothing can hinder His command from being
fulfilled.
What happened to the debt from the Israelites
borrowing the jewels, gold and raiment? Well it
t;;.,~ . .
