Moses' instructions were based on God's command (<a href="/exodus/3-21.htm">Exodus 3:21-22</a>). This obedience is significant as it demonstrates faith in God's promises and leadership. It also sets a precedent for the importance of following divine guidance, a theme that recurs throughout the Bible.<p><b>and asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold,</b><br>The request for silver and gold is a fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham in <a href="/genesis/15-14.htm">Genesis 15:14</a>, where God foretold that his descendants would leave their place of bondage with great possessions. This act can be seen as a form of divine reparation for the years of slavery. The wealth acquired would later be used in the construction of the Tabernacle (<a href="/exodus/25.htm">Exodus 25:1-8</a>), symbolizing the use of earthly wealth for divine purposes. The Egyptians' willingness to give these items may reflect God's influence over their hearts (<a href="/exodus/12-36.htm">Exodus 12:36</a>).<p><b>and for clothing.</b><br>Clothing was a valuable commodity in ancient times, often signifying wealth and status. The request for clothing indicates a preparation for the journey ahead, ensuring that the Israelites were equipped for their exodus from Egypt. This provision also symbolizes God's care for His people, ensuring they had what they needed for their journey to the Promised Land. The acquisition of clothing can be seen as a precursor to the spiritual "clothing" of righteousness that believers receive through faith in Christ (<a href="/isaiah/61-10.htm">Isaiah 61:10</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The descendants of Jacob, also known as the children of Israel, who were enslaved in Egypt and are now preparing to leave after the Passover.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/m/moses.htm">Moses</a></b><br>The leader chosen by God to deliver the Israelites from Egyptian bondage.
