The order of events in these chapters may be clarified by assuming that (verses 1-3 and 12:1-28), occurred before Moses’ final interview with Pharaoh (10:24-29; 11:4-8). Thus, Moses’ departure from Pharaoh “in a great anger” (verse 8), would be followed the same night by the death of the firstborn (12:29), and the Israelites would be inspecting the Passover lamb during the three days of thick darkness that covered the Egyptians (10:24-29; 12:3-6). “And the Lord said”. Read as “the Lord had said.” In a parenthetical paragraph, the narrative recorded that which God had already said to Moses during the 3 days of darkness, priming him for Pharaoh’s summons, and priming Israel to receive Egyptian jewelry and other goods. An aside explained Egyptian generosity as occasioned by divine intervention (12:35-36). This also included a healthy respect by Egypt’s leaders and people for Israel’s leader.
