The ancient Egyptians give gold to the Israelites.
On their way out of Egypt the Israelites get neither their gold nor their treasure from God. God however does give the Israelites use of the land in the Land of Israel.
For that use of the land God does demand reciprocity; for the accumulation of wealth when the Israelites come out of captivity He does not demand reciprocity. Only the royal estate is entailed to the supreme authority.
