18 They will accept what you say to them. Then you and Israel’s elders will go to Egypt’s king and say to him, ‘The Lord, the Hebrews’ God, has met with us. So now let us go on a three-day journey into the desert so that we can offer sacrifices to the Lord our God.’
19 However, I know that Egypt’s king won’t let you go unless he’s forced to do it.
20 So I’ll use my strength and hit Egypt with dramatic displays of my power. After that, he’ll let you go.
21 "I’ll make it so that when you leave Egypt, the Egyptians will be kind to you and you won’t go away empty-handed.
22 Every woman will ask her neighbor along with the immigrant in her household for their silver and their gold jewelry as well as their clothing. Then you will put it on your sons and daughters, and you will rob the Egyptians."
