Remember His Wonders
He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled. Psalm 105:37 · Berean Standard Bible
After this final plague, Pharaoh released Israel. God brought His people out with their Egyptian neighbors giving them silver and gold—the very wealth of Egypt went with the freed slaves. None of them stumbled or were left behind.
Imagine the scene: the Egyptians wanted the Israelites gone so badly that they gave them anything they asked for—money, jewelry, valuables—just to speed their departure. What started as enslavement ended with the enslaved people leaving wealthy. And the entire nation left together, organized, with God leading them.
The psalmist, describing the actual exodus and God's care for His people
God didn't just free His people; He enriched them. Their years of slavery were repaid with the wealth of Egypt itself. And He made sure no one was lost in the chaos of leaving. This is what complete salvation looks like.
God brought Israel out of Egypt laden with silver and gold—spoils taken from their Egyptian overlords—and not a single person stumbled or was lost in the exodus.
Exodus 12:35-36 records that the Israelites 'asked the Egyptians for articles of silver and gold... and the LORD had made the Egyptians favorably disposed toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for.' The Egyptians, traumatized by the plagues, essentially paid Israel to leave.
The psalmist, emphasizing both the material vindication of Israel and the divine protection during the departure—no casualties, no disaster during the exodus itself.
This verse inverts the oppression narrative—Israel departs not as refugees fleeing but as a people whose oppressors provide for their journey. The secure departure without casualty emphasizes divine guardianship. This becomes theologically significant for understanding redemption as not merely escape but as restoration and vindication.
35They devoured every plant in their land and consumed the produce of their soil.
36Then He struck all the firstborn in their land, the firstfruits of all their vigor.
37He brought Israel out with silver and gold, and none among His tribes stumbled.
38Egypt was glad when they departed, for the dread of Israel had fallen on them.
39He spread a cloud as a covering and a fire to light up the night.
Read all of Psalm 105 — From Abraham to the exodus, God's faithfulness is retold as a song. He remembered His holy promise and brought His people out with joy.
