32 aAlso take your flocks and your herds, as you have said, and be gone; and bless me also.”
33 aAnd the Egyptians burged the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste. For they said, “We shall all be dead.”
34 So the people took their dough before it was leavened, having their kneading bowls bound up in their clothes on their shoulders.
35 Now the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they had asked from the Egyptians aarticles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing.
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.

Commentaries:
No entry exists in Forerunner Commentary for Exodus 12:34.
Exodus 12:33-42
Notice, rather than leaving all physical possessions behind like those pioneers needed to do to lighten their load, God provided much more physically for their journey. They added great material possessions from the spoils of Egypt before their journey out began with setting sun that started the 15th day, and the first day of Unleavened Bread.
Notice it says in verse 35 that they had done all this at the word of Moses.
Exodus 12:34
In the Exodus, they could not take any leavening with them. They had no time. They got out before the bread could rise.
So it was "lickity-split," "Let's get up and go! We don't have time to make that good yeasty bread."
