I understand when the Israelites left, their Egyptian neighbors were compelled to give gold & silver. Here's where I am questioning: How much did they get and how did they transport all of it? It seems they must have used a fair amount of gold making the Golden Calf and now in ch 36 they are covering items with silver, gold and bronze. It seems there must have been a tremendous amount. If G-d did not let their dough rise and they carried it on their shoulders, how did they carry this amount of precious metal out of Egypt in haste?

Great to hear from you..please send my best to your husband as to your question the issue of G-d hearing the tears of a women is talmudically sourced From tractate Bava Metzi'a 59a Rav said: One should always be heedful of wronging his wife, for since her tears are frequent she is quickly hurt. R. Eleazar said:11 Since the destruction of the Temple, the gates of prayer are locked, for it is written, Also when I cry out, he shutteth out my prayer. Yet though the gates of prayer are locked, the gates of tears are not, for it is written, Hear my prayer, O HaShem and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears. the corollary is that G-d hears her tears But the main verse relating to Hashem remembering all of our trials tears and wanderings is psalm 56:8 You have kept a record of my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle. They are already in your book. Shalom Renee.

as to your question
the issue of G-d hearing the tears of a women is talmudically sourced

From tractate Bava Metzi’a 59a

Rav said: One should always be heedful of wronging his wife, for since her tears are frequent she is quickly hurt. R. Eleazar said:11 Since the destruction of the Temple, the gates of prayer are locked, for it is written, Also when I cry out, he shutteth out my prayer. Yet though the gates of prayer are locked, the gates of tears are not, for it is written, Hear my prayer, O HaShem and give ear unto my cry; hold not thy peace at my tears.

the corollary is that G-d hears her tears

But the main verse relating to Hashem remembering all of our trials tears and wanderings is psalm 56:8
You have kept a record of my wanderings. Put my tears in your bottle. They are already in your book.
