📚 Historical Context

In the book of Exodus, the Israelites were enduring harsh slavery in Egypt, descendants of Abraham who had grown into a numerous people as God had promised. Their cries for help rose up due to the oppressive labor imposed by Pharaoh, and at this point, God was beginning to respond by acknowledging their plight and remembering His covenant with their ancestors. This sets the stage for the deliverance through Moses, marking a pivotal moment in Israel's history.
