15
Und es geschah, da der Pharao sich hartnäckig weigerte, uns ziehen zu lassen, tötete Jehova alle Erstgeburt im Lande Ägypten, vom Erstgeborenen des Menschen bis zum Erstgeborenen des Viehes; darum opfere ich dem Jehova alles, was die Mutter bricht, die Männlichen, und jeden Erstgeborenen meiner Söhne löse ich.
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.
