Verse 37

37. With silver and gold God had promised Abraham (Genesis 15:14) that his descendants should “come out of Egypt with great substance;” and again to Moses, “When ye go ye shall not go empty.”

Exodus 3:21. The words “silver and gold” refer to Exodus 11:2; Exodus 12:35, where the Hebrew word is not “borrow,” but ask, require; and in Psalms 105:36, where the word is rendered lent, the Hiphil form of the verb means, to suffer to ask; literally, to cause to ask, that is, to lend a willing ear to the asker, and to grant his request. “No proof can be brought that the word means to lend, as is commonly supposed. The word occurs again in 1 Samuel 1:28, and there it means to grant or give.” Keil and Delitzsch.
