Yes, you are remembering correctly. According to the book of Exodus in the Bible (Exodus 12:35-36), before the Israelites left Egypt, they asked the Egyptians for articles of gold, silver, and clothing, which they took with them. This was done at God's command as a way to "plunder the Egyptians." These valuables later played a role in the crafting of the Golden Calf and also in the construction of the Tabernacle.
