Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man request of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold.
All Commentaries on Exodus 11:2 Go To Exodus 11
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
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 vii. The Samaritan and Septuagint add "and raiment "which they also asked for, (chap. xii. 35,) according to God's command, chap. iii. 22. (Kennicott, 1. Dis. p. 391.)
