Psalms 105:38

"He brought them out with silver and gold. There was not one feeble person among his tribes."

Key Reflection

In Psalms 105:38, the Israelites are described as being brought out of Egypt with great wealth and prosperity, symbolized by their abundance in silver and gold. The original audience would have understood this to highlight God’s divine power and provision, emphasizing that even those who were previously weak or oppressed were now strong and abundant, reflecting the miraculous nature of their deliverance from slavery.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Egypt was glad when they departed -They had suffered so many plagues; the land was so utterly desolate, there was so much sorrow in their dwellings, from the calamities which had come upon them for refusing to let the Israelites go, that at last they were glad to have them depart, and they were willing to aid them that they might get rid of them. This will, in part, account for the fact that they were willing to give them what they asked - even silver and gold - if they might thus facilitate their departure.
