Exodus 12:35
"And the children of Israel did as Moses commanded them, and they asked of the Egyptians articles of silver and gold and apparel."
Did the Israelites steal from the Egyptians?
Contrasting Link: Exodus 3:22 →
Exodus 3:22 'And ye shall spoil the Egyptians' is pitted against Exodus 12:35-36, 'And they spoiled [plundered, NRSV] the Egyptians.'
One might ask how exactly this constitutes stealing. Exodus 12:35-36 states that the Israelites asked the Egyptians for items, and the Egyptians gave them willingly. Furthermore, it is reasonable to consider that an enslaved and oppressed people are owed restitution for their labor; thus, the Egyptians owed the Israelites a measure of tribute.
