Exodus 5:12

5:12 So the people spread out ¹  through all the land of Egypt to collect stubble for straw.

Exodus 32:3

32:3 So all ²  the people broke off the gold earrings that were on their ears and brought them to Aaron.

¹ tn The verb וַיָּפֶץ (vayyafets) is from the hollow root פּוּץ (puts) and means “scatter, spread abroad.”

² tn This “all” is a natural hyperbole in the narrative, for it means the large majority of the people.
