Yes the bible does say borrow. But Linda quoted that as 'steal' in a previous thread. perhaps the misunderstanding.

mmm. I don't know Laura, God asked pharoah to let his people go how many times, had to send plagues of all sorts to convince him. The egyptians were actually treating the hebrews very badly. They were brick makers the hebrews and the were treated pretty rough in that respect, often cheated and made to work extremely hard... the Egyptians would kill their male children, hardly a blessing. they were slaves in Egypt, no doubt about it, and treated as such.

You would have to read quite a bit of the bible, it says that he will send them strong deception even, to be perfectly accurate, in more than one place... in several places to be sure, it says it in various different ways.

try Isaiah. Parts of the NT too.
