Êxodo 12:34

34 Ao que o povo tomou a massa, antes que ela levedasse, e as amassadeiras atadas e em seus vestidos, sobre os ombros.

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 Levai também convosco os vossos rebanhos e o vosso gado, como tendes dito; e ide, e abençoai-me também a mim.

33 E os egípcios apertavam ao povo, e apressando-se por lançá-los da terra; porque diziam: Estamos todos mortos.

34 Ao que o povo tomou a massa, antes que ela levedasse, e as amassadeiras atadas e em seus vestidos, sobre os ombros.

35 Fizeram, pois, os filhos de Israel conforme a palavra de Moisés, e pediram aos egípcios jóias de prata, e jóias de ouro, e vestidos.

36 E o Senhor deu ao povo graça aos olhos dos egípcios, de modo que estes lhe davam o que pedia; e despojaram aos egipcios.
