In Jewish tradition

"Furnish liberally" means to give generously, supplying a freed servant with a share of one's flock, grain and wine. In Jeremiah, "furnish thyself" means to get ready, packing one's belongings to go into exile.

Interpretation. The law teaches that when a Hebrew servant goes free, the master must send him away with generous gifts, so he does not leave empty-handed. Jeremiah's words warn Egypt that it will not escape but must prepare for captivity.

Examples

thou shalt furnish him liberally out of thy flock, and out of thy threshing-floor, and out of thy winepress; of that wherewith the LORD thy God hath blessed thee thou shalt give unto him. (Torah DEU.15.14, JPS 1917) tree →
O thou daughter that dwellest in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity; for Noph shall become a desolation, and shall be laid waste, without inhabitant. (Prophets JER.46.19, JPS 1917) tree →
