Moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant. Therefore tell the children of Israel, ‘I am Yahweh, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments. I will take you to myself for a people. I will be your God; and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am Yahweh.’ ”

God spoke to Moses, and said to him, “I am Yahweh. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Yahweh I was not known to them. I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their travels, in which they lived as aliens.

whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and which was the reason of their groaning; their bondage being so hard and rigorous, in which they were detained by Pharaoh, who refused to let them go, though Moses in the name of the Lord had required him to do it:

4. I also established] without ‘have,’ the reference being to Gen_17:7. Established means ‘set up,’ ‘concluded,’ not ‘gave effect to’: to ‘establish a covenant’ is a standing expression in P, Gen_6:18; Gen_9:9; Gen_9:11; Gen_9:17; Gen_17:7; Gen_17:19; Gen_17:21 (elsewhere, in the same sense, only Eze_16:60; Eze_16:62). P never uses the ordinary Heb. expression, ‘cut a covenant’ (Exo_23:32, Exo_24:8, Exo_34:19, &c.).
my covenant] The covenant concluded with Abraham in Gen_17:1-2; Gen_17:7-8 (P) that, if Abraham walked blamelessly before God, He would multiply him, be a God to him and his seed after him, and give to his descendants the land of their sojournings, Canaan (cf. Gen_28:4; Gen_35:12,—both also P).

This vast territory was actually possessed by Israel under David and Solomon (1Ki_4:21-24).

I have established my covenant with them. Compare Gen_15:18-21 Gen_17:7, 8 26:3 28:13. The land of Canaan, in a narrow acceptation, reached "from Sidon unto Gaza"; (Gen_10:19) in a wider sense it included the whole tract between "the river of Egypt (Wady-el-Arish) and the great river, the river Euphrates". (Gen_15:18) It was this larger tract which was promised by God to Abraham. The land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. Literally, "the land of their sojourns wherein they sojourned." (So Kalisch.) It was by permission of the lords of the soil the Canaaaites, Perizzites, Hittites, and others, that Abraham and his descendants dwelt in Canaan to the time of Jacob"s descent into Egypt. (see Gen_12:6 Gen_13:7 Gen_23:7 Gen_27:46, etc.)

God is declared in Scripture to be one who "keepeth covenant and mercy, yea, to a thousand generations". (Deu_7:9) He is ever faithful. He cannot lie. He is not a man that he should repent. The bow which he set in the cloud, when he covenanted with Noah that the waters should no more become a flood to destroy all flesh, is still there, and the promise of which it was the sign has been kept there has come no repetition of the Flood, no second destruction of mankind by water. God has kept the covenant which he made with Israel at Sinai first, on the side of promise, in giving them all the good things which he said he would give them; and then, on the side of threatening, in bringing upon them all the calamities which he said he would bring. With Christians, too, God enters into covenant at their baptism, promising them protection, spiritual aid, and eternal life in heaven, on their maintaining faith and repentance. This covenant, like his others, he will assuredly keep. Let them be but true to him, and they need have no fear but that he will be true to them. The Promised Land will be theirs he will give it to them for an heritage he, Jehovah!

A true pattern of gospel redemption
I. That gospel redemption comes to the soul after a period of moral bondage and distress.
1. It finds the soul in a condition of moral bondage. Whom the Egyptians keep in bondage. It is the bondage of sin. It has been long continued, through many years of our lives. It has been degrading. It has been fruitless to ourselves. Almost hopeless.
2. It finds the soul in a condition of anxious grief. I have also heard the groaning, etc. Tears of repentance. Cries for pardon.
3. It is generally preceded by some Christian agency. Aim of ministry to awaken desire for moral freedom.
II. That gospel redemption comes to the soul by virtue of a Divine covenant and promise. I have remembered, etc.
1. God through Christ has made a covenant of salvation with all who trust in the atonement.
2. By virtue of this covenant, all contrite and believing souls may find rest in and pardon from God.
3. This covenant is--
(1) Unique.
(2) Merciful.
(3) Of long standing.
III. That gospel redemption brings the soul into holy and responsible relationship to God. And I will take you to Me for a people, and I will be to you a God (Exo_6:7).
1. It constitutes the soul a Divine possession
2. It places the soul under the peculiar guardianship of the Infinite.
IV. That gospel redemption leads the faithful into the inheritance of Canaan. What a change! All things are yours. (J. S. Exell, M. A.)
Reasons for human redemption
I. The burden of man is a reason for human redemption. No human hand, but Christ alone, can remove it.
II. The Lordship of Christ is a reason for human redemption. He only could fulfil violated law; forgive past neglect; and enable us to keep it in future.
III. The covenant of God is a reason for human redemption. (J. S. Exell, M. A.)
Gods covenant to His people
1. Stated.
2. Settled.
3. Kept.
4. Happy.
5. Restful.

6:7 Then you will know that I am the Lord: The Hebrew word translated know is always based on experience and relationship. The same word is used to describe human sexual relations. To know God as Yahweh is not just to know abstract facts about him, but to be in a relationship with him in which we are always learning who he is and what he wants us to do. This is the only true rescue from the human predicament of sin described in Gen 3–11. The importance of “knowing the Lord” in the book of Exodus is seen in its recurrence, especially in Exod 5–18 (5:2; 7:5, 17; 8:10, 22; 9:29; 10:2; 11:7; 14:4, 18; 16:6, 12; 18:11).
