32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.
33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.
34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.
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:
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.
37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.
38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.

MFM Devotional For Today 2026 MESSAGE:
The story of the great deliverance of the Israelites by the Almighty God from the house of bondage in Egypt is a glorious attestation to the awesome power of God to work profound wonders in the midst of His people. Through the mighty display of God’s unchallengable power against the Egyptians and their deities, the Jews were allowed to go and serve the Lord God of their fathers. Interestingly, many people who were not of Jewish ancestry, also witnessed the demonstration of the awesome power of God, and the diverse fiery judgements that came upon the Egyptians. Consequently, as the Israelites were marching out of the land of Egypt, the Bible records that “a mixed-multitude went up also with them … (Exodus 12:38).

Who are these mixed multitudes? They were people of other nations who had no connection with the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. They were people who had no established relationship with the God of Israel. They were the people who joined themselves to the covenant people of God without accurate understanding of the principle, the practice, and the demands of the covenant. They followed God out of fear and not out of love for Him. They followed God’s train because of immediate gains, comfort, security, and provisions.
Unfortunately, after some years in the wilderness, as the people of God journeyed towards the promised land, the land flowing with milk and honey, the mixed-multitude they allowed to follow them became their albatross, causing them great problems which led to stern judgement from God. The mixed-multitudes instigated the Israelites against their God, the God who had demonstrated great love, care, and power towards His people.
In your Christian journey, there are different kinds of people you must never allow or encourage to accompany you in your desire and determination to seek God and travel far with Him. The mixed-multitudes are parts of such people. If you allow them, they will only succeed in drawing you away from God.
