SCRIPTURE

"Speak now in the ears of the people, and let them ask every man of his neighbor, and every woman of her neighbor, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold." — Exodus 11:2 (ASV)

Every man – In Exodus 3:22, only women were named; the command is more explicit when the time has come for its execution.

Borrow – “ask.” See Exodus 3:22 note.
