      occurs only in Ps. 80:13. The same Hebrew word is elsewhere
      rendered "swine" (Lev. 11:7; Deut. 14:8; Prov. 11:22; Isa. 65:4;
      66:3, 17). The Hebrews abhorred swine's flesh, and accordingly
      none of these animals were reared, except in the district beyond
      the Sea of Galilee. In the psalm quoted above the powers that
      destroyed the Jewish nation are compared to wild boars and wild
      beasts of the field.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Borrow
      The Israelites "borrowed" from the Egyptians (Ex. 12:35, R.V.,
      "asked") in accordance with a divine command (3:22; 11:2). But
      the word (sha'al) so rendered here means simply and always to
      "request" or "demand." The Hebrew had another word which is
      properly translated "borrow" in Deut. 28:12; Ps. 37:21. It was
      well known that the parting was final. The Egyptians were so
      anxious to get the Israelites away out of their land that "they
      let them have what they asked" (Ex. 12:36, R.V.), or literally
      "made them to ask," urged them to take whatever they desired and
      depart. (See {LOAN}.)
