Êxodo 11:3 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 11:3

And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the
Egyptians
So that they freely and willingly lent them the things they asked of them; which seems to be said by way of anticipation, for this was not done until the following plague was inflicted, see ( Exodus 12:35 Exodus 12:36 ) , moreover, the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt;
his name was famous throughout the whole land, because of the signs and wonders, and miracles wrought by him; they took him to be a very extraordinary person, as he was, and had him in great esteem, because at his entreaty the plagues were removed from them, when they had been wrought on them; and this made them the more willing to lend the above things to the people of Israel when they asked them of them, because of their great respect to Moses, and whom, if they did not cordially love, yet they feared, and might imagine that if they did not comply with the request of his people, he might resent it, and employ his power against them; and thus he stood, either beloved or feared, or both, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants;
his ministers, courtiers, and counsellors: and in the sight of the people; the common people, the inhabitants of the land of Egypt.

Êxodo 11:3 In-Context

1 Disse então o SENHOR a Moisés: “Enviarei ainda mais uma praga sobre o faraó e sobre o Egito. Somente depois desta ele os deixará sair daqui e até os expulsará totalmente.

2 Diga ao povo, tanto aos homens como às mulheres, que peça aos seus vizinhos objetos de prata e de ouro”.

3 O SENHOR tornou os egípcios favoráveis ao povo, e o próprio Moisés era tido em alta estima no Egito pelos conselheiros do faraó e pelo povo.

4 Disse, pois, Moisés ao faraó: “Assim diz o SENHOR: ‘Por volta da meia-noite, passarei por todo o Egito.

5 Todos os primogênitos do Egito morrerão, desde o filho mais velho do faraó, herdeiro do trono, até o filho mais velho da escrava que trabalha no moinho, e também todas as primeiras crias do gado.
