And I will make the Egyptians look favorably on this people. So when you leave Egypt, you won't leave empty-handed.

📚 Historical Context
In the book of Exodus, God appears to Moses in a burning bush on Mount Sinai, calling him to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt after centuries of oppression. God promises that when the time comes for the Israelites to leave, He will ensure they find favor with the Egyptians, allowing them to take valuable items with them as compensation for their years of forced labor. This assurance is part of God's larger plan to deliver His people and demonstrate His power over the Egyptian gods.
