7190. Verses 2-8 And God spoke to Moses, and said to him, I am Jehovah. And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Shaddai; and by My name Jehovah I was not known to them. And I also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings in which they sojourned. And also I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, that the Egyptians make them serve; and I have remembered My covenant. Therefore say to the children of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I will lead you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their servitude; and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgements. And I will take you to Myself as a people, and I will be to you a God; and you will know that I am Jehovah your God, leading you out from under the burdens of Egypt. And I will bring you to the land concerning which I lifted up My hand ¹ to give it to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as an inheritance; I am Jehovah.

'The land of their sojournings in which they sojourned' means where those things reside that are aspects of faith and charity in which they have received instruction and which they have practised in life. 'And also I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel' means their distress arising from conflict. 'That the Egyptians make them serve means with those steeped in falsities who endeavour to bring them under their control. 'And I have remembered My covenant' means a release from them for the sake of the joining together. 'Therefore say to the children of Israel' means that the law of God will enable those who belong to the Lord's spiritual kingdom to discern. 'I am Jehovah' means confirmation from the Divine. 'And I will lead you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians' means that the Lord will release them from the molestations of those steeped in falsities. 'And I will deliver you from their servitude' means complete release from the endeavour to establish control over them. 'And I will redeem you with an outstretched arm means leading out of hell by Divine power. 'And with great judgements' means in accordance with the laws of order that spring from the Lord's Divine Human. 'And I will take you to Myself as a people' means that they will be added to those in heaven who serve the Lord there. 'And I will be to you a God' means that they will also receive the Divine. 'And you will know that I am Jehovah your God' means the discernment then that the Lord is the only God. 'Leading you out from under the burdens of Egypt' means who has delivered them from molestations by falsities. 'And I will bring you to the land concerning which I lifted up My hand to give it to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob' means raising by Divine power to heaven, where the Lord's Divine Human is the All.
