The Definition of the word Mixed multitude

Mixed multitude

(Ex. 12:38), a class who accompanied the Israelites as they "journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, the first stage of the" Exodus. These were probably miscellaneous hangers-on to the "Hebrews, whether Egyptians of the lower orders, or the remains" "of the Hyksos (see [409]EGYPT; [410]MOSES), as some think. The" same thing happened on the return of the Jews from Babylon (Neh. "13:3), a "mixed multitude" accompanied them so far."
