Taking goods from Egyptians
During the plague of darkness, the Jews went around to scout out what the Egyptians had in their houses and then they "asked" for things before they left and the Egyptians gave them lots. No doubt, though, that some of the things given were related to the Avodah Zara that the Egyptians practiced. Was there any obligation for the nascent Jewish people (yes, pre-Sinai) to eliminate vestiges of Avodah Zara and not take benefit from things associated with it?
