1). When every firstborn of the Egyptians died, which included every home (Exodus 12:30), the Egyptians were terrified and gave the Israelites whatever wealth they asked for because they believed if they didn’t comply they would all be dead.

a). Exodus 12:33-36 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.

12:34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

12:35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:

12:36 And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.

2). The amount of wealth that the people of Israel left with was more than enough to build the Tabernacle worthy of God from freewill offerings and have enough left for themselves. The request for the freewill offering moved the Israelite people so much that they had to request for them to stop bringing material because it was too much material.

a). Exodus 36:5-7 And they spake unto Moses, saying, The people bring much more than enough for the service of the work, which the Lord commanded to make.

36:6 And Moses gave commandment, and they caused it to be proclaimed throughout the camp, saying, Let neither man nor woman make any more work for the offering of the sanctuary. So the people were restrained from bringing.

36:7 For the stuff they had was sufficient for all the work to make it, and too much.
