8050. 'For by strength of hand Jehovah brought you out from there' means that they were delivered by the Lord's Divine power. This is clear from the meaning of 'strength of hand' as power or, when used in reference to Jehovah, as almighty power (the fact that 'strength' means power is self-evident; and the fact that 'hand' likewise means power, see 878, 3387, 4931-4937, 5327, 5328, 5544, 6947, 7188, 7189, 7518, 7673); and from the meaning of 'bringing out' as delivering. That 'Jehovah' is the Lord, see above in 8046.
