Gill's Notes on the Bible

Speak now in the ears of the people,.... This cannot be understood of the whole body of the people being gathered together, but of some of the principal ones, who should communicate it to others, and so from one to another, until all the heads and masters of families became acquainted with it:

and let every man borrow of his neighbour, and every woman of her neighbour, jewels of silver, and jewels of gold; to ornament themselves with at the feast they were going to keep: the Samaritan and Septuagint versions add, and clothing or raiment, and such it is certain they did borrow, Exodus 12:35 or vessels p of different forms, made of gold and silver, such as were fit and proper to be used at sacrifices and feasts, and which will account for the vessels given by princes, Numbers 7:1 for the doing of which the divine authority was sufficient; though there seems to be a reason for it in justice, that they might be paid for their hard service they had been made to serve for so many years, without having a proper reward for it: the word may be rendered, "let every man ask", c.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Every man - In Exodus 3:22 only women were named; the command is more explicit when the time has come for its execution.

Borrow - “ask.” See Exodus 3:22 note.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Exodus 11:2. Let every man borrow — For a proper correction of the strange mistranslation of the word שאל shaal in this verse, Exodus 3:22.
