"They let them have what they asked" (Exod. xii. 36). R. Ammi said : This teaches that they let them have what they asked against their will. Some explain : Against the will of the Egyptians; but others explain ; Against the will of the Israelites.
Shulchan Arukh, Orach Chayim
From when does one bless on the ציצית [that he puts on] in the morning? From the time when [there's enough light that] one can tell the difference between the techeilet (blue) in it and the white in it. And if he puts it on starting at dawn, some say he makes a blessing, and this is our practice (Mordechi - chapter 2 of Tractate Megillah). And if he put it on earlier than that, such as during [the time of year when we recite] selichot, he should not make a blessing over it [right away], and [then] when it becomes light he should touch [the ציצית] and makes the blessing (Tashbe"tz).
