And said unto the children of Israel, etc.] In the name of the Lord, using the phrase which the prophets used when they spoke in the name of the Lord: thus saith the Lord God of Israel; the great Jehovah, the Being of beings, the covenant God of his people Israel: I brought up Israel out of Egypt; when in bondage there, with a mighty hand and outstretched arm, by means of signs and wonders done by the hands of Moses and Aaron; the Lord working mightily with them, and thereby inclining Pharaoh and his people to let them go: and delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians; at the Red sea, drowning them in it, when they threatened Israel with an utter destruction: and out of the hand of all kingdoms, [and] of them that oppressed you; as the Arabic writers, the kingdoms of Og and Bashan in their way to Canaan, and the Mesopotamians, Moabites, Canaanites, Midianites, Ammonites, and Philistines, in the times of the judges; all which is observed to show their ingratitude, and aggravate their guilt.
