The departure of the Israelites from Egypt was far more than a simple escape of slaves; it was a powerful release marked by profound honor, immense wealth, and complete physical and spiritual wholeness. God brought the nation out of exile fully equipped, carrying the vast property they had requested from the Egyptians [אבן עזרא, רד״ק, ביאור שטיינזלץ, מאירי]. The events surrounding this departure highlight a remarkable display of divine providence. Even though the Egyptians were deep in mourning over the sudden death of their firstborn, they willingly handed over their silver and gold [אלשיך]. Logically, one might expect the Egyptians to harbor intense hatred and immediately pursue the Israelites to reclaim their fortunes. Instead, a deep fear fell upon them, and they were actually glad to see the nation leave [מלבי״ם]. Ultimately, departing with such wealth was not a mere stroke of luck, but the direct fulfillment of God's ancient promise to Abraham, ensuring that His descendants would eventually leave their exile with great possessions [מאירי, אלשיך].
As they marched into the desert, the Israelites experienced a miraculous state of strength, entirely free from any form of stumbling, falling, or weakness [מצודת ציון]. The primary approach among commentators understands this perfection in a material sense, describing a complete absence of extreme poverty. Despite being a massive crowd composed of twelve distinct tribes, there was not a single poor or needy individual among them. Every person, without exception, departed with wealth and dignity [אבן עזרא, רד״ק, מצודת דוד, מאירי]. This universal prosperity was not a matter of wealthy tribes supporting a poorer one, but rather the flawless execution of God's promise [אלשיך].
Beyond material wealth, this flawless departure is also understood in a literal, logistical sense. As the vast nation traveled, not a single person physically fell or lost their footing. The tribes moved together seamlessly, with no one delaying the journey or lagging behind [אבן עזרא, ביאור שטיינזלץ]. Finally, there is a deeper spiritual dimension to this unhindered march. The absence of any stumbling indicates the healing of historical wrongs. The very fact that the tribes merited to leave with the spoils of Egypt serves as proof that they were finally forgiven for the ancient sin of selling Joseph, showing that they emerged from their long exile entirely free of any spiritual flaw or stumbling block [חומת אנך].
