Keluaran 6:5

6:5 I ¹  have also heard ²  the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, ³  and I have remembered my covenant. ⁴ 

Ulangan 15:15

15:15 Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore, I am commanding you to do this thing today.

Ulangan 15:2

15:2 This is the nature of the cancellation: Every creditor must remit what he has loaned to another person; ⁵  he must not force payment from his fellow Israelite, ⁶  for it is to be recognized as “the Lord’s cancellation of debts.”

1 Samuel 7:1

7:1 Then the people ⁷  of Kiriath Jearim came and took the ark of the Lord; they brought it to the house of Abinadab located on the hill. They consecrated Eleazar his son to guard the ark of the Lord.

Mazmur 78:35

78:35 They remembered that God was their protector, ⁸ 

and that the sovereign God was their deliverer. ⁹ 

[6:5]  ¹ tn The addition of the independent pronoun אֲנִי (’ani, “I”) emphasizes the fact that it was Yahweh himself who heard the cry.

[6:5]  ² tn Heb “And also I have heard.”

[6:5]  ³ tn The form is the Hiphil participle מַעֲבִדִים (ma’avidim, “causing to serve”). The participle occurs in a relative clause that modifies “the Israelites.” The clause ends with the accusative “them,” which must be combined with the relative pronoun for a smooth English translation. So “who the Egyptians are enslaving them,” results in the translation “whom the Egyptians are enslaving.”

[6:5]  ⁴ tn As in Exod 2:24, this remembering has the significance of God’s beginning to act to fulfill the covenant promises.

[15:2]  ⁵ tn Heb “his neighbor,” used idiomatically to refer to another person.

[15:2]  ⁶ tn Heb “his neighbor and his brother.” The words “his brother” may be a scribal gloss identifying “his neighbor” (on this idiom, see the preceding note) as a fellow Israelite (cf. v. 3). In this case the conjunction before “his brother” does not introduce a second category, but rather has the force of “that is.”

[7:1]  ⁷ tn Heb “men.”

[78:35]  ⁸ tn Heb “my high rocky summit.”

[78:35]  ⁹ tn Heb “and [that] God Most High [was] their redeemer.”
