Éxodo 12:34

34 Entonces los israelitas se llevaron su masa de pan sin agregarle levadura. Envolvieron las tablas de amasar en sus mantos y las cargaron sobre los hombros.

Éxodo 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.

Éxodo 12:34 In-Context

32 Llévense sus rebaños y sus manadas, como dijeron, y márchense ya. Váyanse, pero bendíganme al salir».

33 Todos los egipcios apresuraban al pueblo de Israel a que abandonara la tierra cuanto antes, porque pensaban: «¡Todos moriremos!».

34 Entonces los israelitas se llevaron su masa de pan sin agregarle levadura. Envolvieron las tablas de amasar en sus mantos y las cargaron sobre los hombros.

35 Los israelitas hicieron lo que Moisés les había indicado: pidieron a los egipcios ropa y objetos de plata y de oro.

36 Y el Señor
hizo que los egipcios miraran con agrado a los israelitas, y dieron al pueblo de Israel todo lo que pidió. ¡Así despojaron a los egipcios de sus riquezas!
