P. 39
The Lord heard our cry – as it is written: “God heard their groaning; G-d remembered His
covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.”
And saw our affliction – that is, the conjugal separation of husband and wife, as it is written:
“G-d saw the children of Israel and G-d knew.”
Our toil – refers to the drowning of the sons, as it is written: “Every son that is born you shall
cast into the river, but you shall let every daughter live.”
Our oppression – means the pressure used upon them, as it is written: “I have also seen how
the Egyptians are oppressing them.”

“The Lord brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and outstretched arm, with great awe,
miraculous signs and wonders.” (Devarim 26:8)
The Lord brought us out of Egypt – not by an angel, not by a seraph, not by a messenger, but
by the Holy one, blessed be He, Himself, as it is written: “I will pass through the land of Egypt on
that night; I will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt from man unto beast; on all the gods
of Egypt I will execute judgments; I am the Lord.”
