Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(21) The Lord brought us out of Egypt.--The simple explanation of the obligations of the Law given in these verses is based upon the message of Jehovah to Israel from Sinai. in Exodus 19:3-6 : "Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how ? bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself. Now therefore, if ye will obey my voice indeed, and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a peculiar treasure unto me." The keeping of the Law of Jehovah by Israel as a nation in the land that He gave them was the final cause of their national existence. This fundamental fact must never be forgotten. This alone would justify what had been done to Egypt. Hence the neglect of the Law must inevitably bring down the Divine vengeance.Parallel Commentaries ...Hebrewthen you are to tellוְאָמַרְתָּ֣ (wə·’ā·mar·tā)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Conjunctive perfect - second person masculine singularStrong's 559: To utter, sayhim,לְבִנְךָ֔ (lə·ḇin·ḵā)Preposition-l | Noun - masculine singular construct | second person masculine singularStrong's 1121: A son“We wereהָיִ֥ינוּ (hā·yî·nū)Verb - Qal - Perfect - first person common pluralStrong's 1961: To fall out, come to pass, become, beslavesעֲבָדִ֛ים (‘ă·ḇā·ḏîm)Noun - masculine pluralStrong's 5650: Slave, servantof Pharaohלְפַרְעֹ֖ה (lə·p̄ar·‘ōh)Preposition-l | Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 6547: Pharaoh -- a title of Egypt kingsin Egypt,בְּמִצְרָ֑יִם (bə·miṣ·rā·yim)Preposition-b | Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 4714: Egypt -- a son of Ham, also his descendants and their country in Northwest Africabut the LORDיְהוָ֛ה (Yah·weh)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3068: LORD -- the proper name of the God of Israelbrought us outוַיּוֹצִיאֵ֧נוּ (way·yō·w·ṣî·’ê·nū)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singular | first person common pluralStrong's 3318: To go, bring, out, direct and proximof Egyptמִמִּצְרַ֖יִם (mim·miṣ·ra·yim)Preposition-m | Noun - proper - feminine singularStrong's 4714: Egypt -- a son of Ham, also his descendants and their country in Northwest Africawith a mightyחֲזָקָֽה׃ (ḥă·zā·qāh)Adjective - feminine singularStrong's 2389: Strong, stout, mightyhand.בְּיָ֥ד (bə·yāḏ)Preposition-b | Noun - feminine singularStrong's 3027: A handJump to PreviousBondmen Bond-Men Bondservants Egypt Hand High Mighty Pharaoh Pharaoh's Powerful Servants Slaves Yoke
