Commentaries:
Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown
a mixed multitude went with them—literally, "a great rabble" (see also Numbers 11:4; Deuteronomy 29:11); slaves, persons in the lowest grades of society, partly natives and partly foreigners, bound close to them as companions in misery, and gladly availing themselves of the opportunity to escape in the crowd. (Compare Zechariah 8:23).
