'And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses' means that they obeyed God's truth. 'And they asked from the Egyptians vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and clothes' means that known facts containing truth and goodness were removed from the evil belonging to the Church, to be assigned to the good belonging to it. 'And Jehovah gave the people favour in the eyes of the Egyptians' means fear which those who were damned had of those belonging to the spiritual Church. 'And they lent [these things] to them' means that those facts were transferred. 'And they despoiled the Egyptians' means that those lost in damnation were made completely devoid of such things.
