Exodus 12:31-36 - Pharaoh Allows The Israelites To Leave Egypt

31 Then he summoned Moses and Aaron during the night and told them: "Get up, go out from among my people, both you and the Israelis! Go, serve the LORD as you have said. 32 Take both your sheep and your cattle, just as you demanded and go! And bless me too!"

33 The Egyptian officials urged the people to send them out of the land quickly, because they were saying, "We'll all be dead!" 34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls wrapped up in their cloaks on their shoulders.

35 Meanwhile, the Israelis had done as Moses said; they had asked the Egyptians for objects of silver and objects of gold, and for clothes. 36 The LORD had given the people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians, so that they gave them what they requested. As a result, they plundered the Egyptians.
