Deuteronomy 26:7 Meaning and Commentary

Deuteronomy 26:7

And when we cried unto the Lord our God
As they did by reason of their hard bondage, ( Exodus 2:23 ) ;

and the Lord heard our voice, and looked upon our affliction, and our
labour, and our oppression;
with a look of pity and compassion, heard their cries, answered their petitions, and sent them a deliverer, ( Exodus 2:25 ) ( Exodus 3:7 Exodus 3:8 ) .

Deuteronomy 26:7 In-Context

5 And thou shalt say in the sight of thy Lord God, (A) Syrian pursued (was) my father, that went down into Egypt, and was a pilgrim there in fewest number; and he increased into a great folk, and strong, and of multitude without number. (And thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, A wandering Syrian was my father, who went down into Egypt, and he, with a few others, were foreigners there; but they increased into a great and strong nation, and into a multitude without number.)
6 And [the] Egyptians tormented us, and pursued us, and they putted upon us most grievous burdens.
7 And we cried to the Lord God of our fathers, which heard us (who heard us), and he beheld our meekness, and our travail, and our anguish;
8 and he led us out of Egypt in a mighty hand, and in an arm stretched out, in great dread, and in miracles, and in great wonders, (and he led us out of Egypt with a mighty hand, and an outstretched arm, with great and fearful miracles, and with great wonders,)
9 and he led us into this place; and he hath given to us a land flowing with milk and honey.
