Êxodo 6:5 Meaning and Commentary

Exodus 6:5

And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel,
&c.] For the Lord is not only the eternal and immutable Being in his purposes and promises, and a covenant keeping God; but he is compassionate and merciful, and sympathizes with his people in all their afflictions; he takes notice of their sighs and groans, as he now did those of his people in Egypt: whom the Egyptians keep in bondage;
and which was the reason of their groaning; their bondage being so hard and rigorous, in which they were detained by Pharaoh, who refused to let them go, though Moses in the name of the Lord had required him to do it: and I have remembered my covenant;
concerning bringing them out of Egypt into the land of Canaan, which he would quickly do, and thereby make it appear he was mindful of his covenant, which is indeed never forgotten by him, though it may seem to be.

Êxodo 6:5 In-Context

3 Apareci a Abraão, a Isaque e a Jacó, como o Deus Todo-Poderoso; mas pelo meu nome Jeová, não lhes fui conhecido.

4 Estabeleci o meu pacto com eles para lhes dar a terra de Canaã, a terra de suas peregrinações, na qual foram peregrinos.

5 Ademais, tenho ouvido o gemer dos filhos de Israel, aos quais os egípcios vêm escravizando; e lembrei-me do meu pacto.

6 Portanto dize aos filhos de Israel: Eu sou Jeová; eu vos tirarei de debaixo das cargas dos egípcios, livrar-vos-ei da sua servidão, e vos resgatarei com braço estendido e com grandes juízos.

7 Eu vos tomarei por meu povo e serei vosso Deus; e vós sabereis que eu sou Jeová vosso Deus, que vos tiro de debaixo das cargas dos egípcios.
