12:33	The Egyptians were also urging the people to hurry and leave the land. 'We are all dead men!' they were saying. Vatechezak Mitsrayim al-ha'am lemaher leshalcham min-ha'arets ki amru kulanu metim.
12:34	The people took their dough before it could rise. Their leftover dough was wrapped in their robes [and placed] on their shoulders. Vayisa ha'am et-betseko terem yechmats mish'arotam tsrurot besimlotam al-shichmam.
12:35	The Israelites [also] did as Moses had said. They requested silver and gold articles and clothing from the Egyptians. Uveney Yisra'el asu kidevar Moshe vayish'alu miMitsrayim kley-chesef uchley zahav usmalot.
12:36	God made the Egyptians respect the people, and they granted their request. [The Israelites] thus drained Egypt of its wealth. V'Adonay natan et-chen ha'am be'eyney Mitsrayim vayash'ilum vayenatslu et-Mitsrayim.
