John Gill Commentary Exodus 12:35

"And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they asked of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment." — Exodus 12:35 (ASV)

And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses ,
&c.] (Exodus 3:22) (Exodus 11:2Exodus 11:3)

and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of
gold, and raiment ;
or "they asked" ^F1 them of the Egyptians to give them them, which they readily did to get rid of them.

For upon their being urgent with the Israelites to be gone in haste, they might reply, that they were not provided with things suitable for a journey, and therefore requested such things of them, which they at once freely consented to; (See Gill on Exodus 3:22), (See Gill on Exodus 11:2), (See Gill on Exodus 11:3).
