Éxodo 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.

Éxodo 6:5 In-Context

3 y me aparecí a Abraham, a Isaac y a Jacob como Dios Todopoderoso , mas por mi nombre, SEÑOR , no me di a conocer a ellos.

4 También establecí mi pacto con ellos, de darles la tierra de Canaán, la tierra donde peregrinaron.

5 Y además, he oído el gemido de los hijos de Israel, porque los egipcios los tienen esclavizados, y me he acordado de mi pacto.

6 Por tanto, di a los hijos de Israel: "Yo soy el SEÑOR, y os sacaré de debajo de las cargas de los egipcios, y os libraré de su esclavitud, y os redimiré con brazo extendido y con juicios grandes.

7 "Y os tomaré por pueblo mío, y yo seré vuestro Dios; y sabréis que yo soy el SEÑOR vuestro Dios, que os sacó de debajo de las cargas de los egipcios.
