18 And they shall hearken to thy voice: and thou shalt come, thou and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and ye shall say unto him, Jehovah, the God of the Hebrews, hath met with us: and now let us go, we pray thee, three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to Jehovah our God.

6897. 'And I say, I will cause you to come up out of the affliction of Egypt' means raising up and delivering from molestation by false factual knowledge. This is clear from the meaning of 'causing to come up' as raising towards more interior things, dealt with in 3084, 4539, 5406, 5817, 6007 (raising people towards more interior things is raising them from molestation by falsities to the truths of faith and forms of the good of faith, and therefore 'causing to go up' also means deliverance); from the meaning of 'affliction' as molestation, dealt with in 6663, 6851; and from the meaning of 'Egypt' as false factual knowledge, dealt with in 6651, 6679, 6683.
