Exodus 12
12:35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:
12:36 And the LORD gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.
'Spoil' means loot from and not treat. 'Spoils of war'.
If the Hebrews really were in Egypt, they left with lots of Egyptian gold and silver. That would explain why the Egyptian army gave chase despite allowing them to leave....they realised they'd left with their valuables.
I believe the Egyptians were good record keepers. This would mean the Hebrews were either the Habiru or they were never in Egypt. If the Hebrews had been in Egypt and had been different to the Habiru, we would now find records of them or references to them. They would have been recorded like the Habiru. Also, for the Hebrews to have been able to steal gold and silver they must have had access to gold and silver, which slaves would not have done. They must have been working for the Egyptians in a trusted role. I believe the Habiru were sometimes employed in more senior roles.
