He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes.
God chose one people freely from all nations and bound Himself to them by covenant. He did not merely speak His promises to Abraham and his seed; He proved them true across centuries with unnumbered mercies, so that those delivered from Egypt would keep faith with Him and serve Him faithfully.

Commenting on Psalm 105:1-45
He brought them forth also with silver and gold. This they asked of the Egyptians, perhaps even demanded, and well they might, for they had been robbed and spoiled for many a day, and it was not meet that they should go forth empty handed.
God turned the hearts of the Egyptians from protection to hatred. They dealt subtly with Israel, making their burdens heavy and their lives bitter. Malice is crafty to destroy; Satan has the serpent's subtlety with his venom. Every creature becomes to us what God makes it to be, friend or enemy.
