- into the land:
- Or, as Bp. Lowth renders, "through a land of distress and difficulty:" the same deserts are here spoken of which the Israelites passed through. "Andª the Egyptiansª will I give overª° into the handª of a cruelª lord;ª and a fierceª kingª shall ruleª° over them, saithª° the Lord,ª the LORDª of hosts.ª" {Isa 19:4} + "And they made²°¹ their livesª bitterª° with hardª bondage,ª in morter,ª and in brick,ª and in all manner¹ of serviceª in the field:ª¹ all¹ their service,ª wherein¹ they made them serve,ª° [was] with rigour.ª" {Exd 1:14} + "And the taskmastersª° of the peopleª went out,ª° and their officers,ª° and they spakeª° to¹ the people,ª saying,ª° Thus¹ saithª° Pharaoh,ª I will not¹ giveª° you straw.ª ... And they saidª° unto¹ them, The LORDª lookª° upon¹ you, and judge;ª° because¹ ye have made¹ our savourª to be abhorredª° in the eyesª of Pharaoh,ª and in the eyesª of his servants,ª to putª° a swordª in their handª to slayª° us." {Exd 5:10-21} + "But the LORDª hath takenª° you, and brought you forthª°¹ out of the ironª furnace,ª¹ [even] out of Egypt,ª¹ to be¹ unto him a peopleª of inheritance,ª as [ye are] this¹ day.ª" {Deu 4:20} + "Who led²°¹ thee through that greatª and terribleª° wilderness,ª [wherein were] fieryª serpents,ª and scorpions,ª and drought,ª where¹ [there was] no¹ water;ª who brought thee forthª° waterª out of the rockª¹ of flint;ª" {Deu 8:15} + "But¹ he shall not¹ multiplyª° horsesª to himself, nor¹ cause¹ the peopleª to returnª° to Egypt,ª to the end that¹ he should multiplyª° horses:ª forasmuch as the LORDª hath saidª° unto you, Ye shall henceforthª° returnª° no¹ more¹ that¹ way.ª" {Deu 17:16} + "Which¹ I commandedª°¹ your fathersª in the dayª [that] I brought them forthª°¹ out of the landª¹ of Egypt,ª from the ironª furnace,ª¹ saying,ª° Obeyª° my voice,ª and doª° them, according to all¹ which¹ I commandª° you: so shall ye be¹ my people,ª and I¹ will be¹ your God:ª" {Jer 11:4}
