A root that runs both ways in this chapter — TO RESCUE, snatch away (hifil, hitsil): 'I have come down to RESCUE them from the hand of Egypt' (3:8) — and TO STRIP, plunder, despoil (piel, nitsel): 'you will STRIP Egypt bare' (3:22). One verb for the deliverance and for the spoil: Israel is snatched out of Egypt's hand, and carries Egypt's silver out in the same motion — the wages of four centuries, and the down payment on Genesis 15:14's 'great possessions.' KJV 'spoil'; the pun on 'deliver' is only visible in the Hebrew. ⭐ Deuteronomy 23:15-16 (already on these pages) sets two forms of the root in consecutive verses: Jehovah walks about in the camp lehatsilkha, to RESCUE you, and the next law is about a slave asher yinnatsel elekha, who has ESCAPED to you — the reflexive-passive, a man who has snatched himself away. The God who rescues Israel and the slave who rescues himself are one verb apart, and the law tells Israel not to hand the second one back. → first discussed at Exod 3:22
