Kaisipang Hudyo sa Exodo 11:3: Sefer Yesodei HaTorah

This reservation is a formidable one to the mentalities of the men of our generation, but completely foreign to the mentalities of those who left Egypt. For those who suffered under the hands of Egypt and who were sentient of their evil deeds — when they were commanded to do this thing (i.e., too borrow), and when they fulfilled this command and borrowed from the Egyptians as Moses had taught them in the name of the L-rd, no negative impress was made upon their souls for the sanctioning of deceit and guile. But, to the contrary, the impress made was that the L-rd pays a man in accordance with his deeds and punishes the wicked who are cruel to their fellows. For they did not do this thing of their own will, and it is possible that in their eagerness to distance themselves from their oppressors and from the land of the devourers of their children, they would never be moved to do such a thing. They did so only because they were commanded to do so by their leader, who spoke to them in the name of the L-rd. What did impress itself upon their souls is that the L-rd hates men of wrong and saves the oppressed of spirit and pays them goodly reward. So that what was impressed upon their souls is that if they, too, in the time of their success would oppress others, the L-rd would take revenge for the oppressed ones and place the spoil of their oppressors in their hands, just as Moses exhorted them several times afterwards to remember that they had been slaves and the L-rd had redeemed them. Witness to all this is that in three places (Shemoth 3:21; 11:3; and 12:36) the Torah explains that it was from the L-rd to place the favor of the people in the eyes of Egypt so that they be moved to lend them. That is, the Jews recognized, and Moses their leader taught them, that the Egyptians, their oppressors, would never lend them their precious vessels if not by the will of the Almighty, miraculously. And for this reason it is written (Ibid. 12:31) "And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses, etc." to teach that it was not from their hearts and from their own motivations that they did this, but to do the will of their leader in the name of the Almighty, their Savior by signs and wonders…
