Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Exodus 12:38

_ _ a mixed multitude went with them — literally, “a great rabble” (see also Numbers 11:4; Deuteronomy 29:11); slaves, persons in the lowest grades of society, partly natives and partly foreigners, bound close to them as companions in misery, and gladly availing themselves of the opportunity to escape in the crowd. (Compare Zechariah 8:23).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Exodus 12:37-42.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Exodus 12:38

And a mixed multitude went up with them — Some perhaps willing to leave their country, because it was laid waste by the plagues. But probably the greatest part was but a rude unthinking mob, that followed they knew not why: It is likely, when they understood that the children of Israel were to continue forty years in the wilderness, they quitted them, and returned to Egypt again. And flocks and herds, even very much cattle — This is taken notice of, because it was long ere Pharaoh would give them leave to remove their effects, which were chiefly cattle.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Exodus 12:38

And (r) a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, [even] very much cattle.

(r) Which were strangers, and not born from the Israelites.
