Êxodo 12:34

34 Então o povo tomou a massa de pão ainda sem fermento e a carregou nos ombros, nas amassadeiras embrulhadas em suas roupas.

Êxodo 12:34 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 12:34

And the people took their dough before it was leavened
They had that evening mixed their flour with water, and made it into dough, but had put no leaven into it; and the Egyptians being so very earnest to have them gone, they stayed not to put any leaven into it:

[but] their kneadingtroughs,
or rather "their dough",

being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders;
for it is not likely that their troughs should be wrapped up in the skirts of their garments; but their dough might, if their clothes were like the hykes of the Arabs now, as Dr. Shaw ^F26 thinks they were, and which are pretty much like the plaids of the Scotch, and which are large enough for such a purpose; as even the veil which Ruth wore held six measures of barley, ( Ruth 3:15 ) and so these clothes of theirs, like the Arabs' hykes, and the Scotch plaids, might be so made, that large lumps of dough being bound up in them might be thrown over their shoulders, and so carried by them when they journeyed.

Êxodo 12:34 In-Context

32 Levem os seus rebanhos, como tinham dito, e abençoem a mim também”.

33 Os egípcios pressionavam o povo para que se apressasse em sair do país, dizendo: “Todos nós morreremos!”

34 Então o povo tomou a massa de pão ainda sem fermento e a carregou nos ombros, nas amassadeiras embrulhadas em suas roupas.

35 Os israelitas obedeceram à ordem de Moisés e pediram aos egípcios objetos de prata e de ouro, bem como roupas.

36 O SENHOR concedeu ao povo uma disposição favorável da parte dos egípcios, de modo que lhes davam o que pediam; assim eles despojaram os egípcios.
