Quick answer
God brought Israel out laden with silver and gold, none of them weak. It matters because He freed His people enriched and in full strength.
Overview
At the Exodus the Egyptians gave Israel silver and gold (Exodus 12:35-36), fulfilling God's earlier word (Genesis 15:14). That not one Israelite was feeble shows God's complete provision and care. He led His people out not as broken slaves but as a strong, abundantly supplied nation.
