Exodus 12:34 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Kneadingtroughs - (Compare the margin and Deuteronomy 28:5). The troughs were probably small wooden bowls in which the cakes when baked were preserved for use. The Hebrews used their outer garment, or mantle, in the same way as the Bedouins at present, who make a bag of the voluminous folds of their burnous. See Ruth 3:15; 2 Kings 4:39.

Exodus 12:34

34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughsh being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
