Exodus 12:38 - John Wesley's Notes

Exodus 12:38

36 ^aAnd the Lord had given the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they granted them what they requested. Thus ^bthey plundered the Egyptians.

37 Then ^athe children of Israel journeyed from ^bRameses to Succoth, about ^csix hundred thousand men on foot, besides children.

38 A ^amixed multitude went up with them also, and flocks and herds—a great deal of ^blivestock.

39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they had brought out of Egypt; for it was not leavened, because ^athey were driven out of Egypt and could not wait, nor had they prepared provisions for themselves.

40 Now the¹ sojourn of the children of Israel who lived in² Egypt was ^afour hundred and thirty years.

41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years—on that very same day—it came to pass that ^aall the armies of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.

Exodus 12:38

And a mixed multitude went up with them - Some perhaps willing to leave their country, because it was laid waste by the plagues. But probably the greatest part was but a rude unthinking mob, that followed they knew not why: It is likely, when they understood that the children of Israel were to continue forty years in the wilderness, they quitted them, and returned to Egypt again. And flocks and herds, even very much cattle - This is taken notice of, because it was long ere Pharaoh would give them leave to remove their effects, which were chiefly cattle.
