Exodus 6:6

Key Reflection

Exodus 6:6 reveals God's commitment to his people, drawing a parallel between his past actions and future intentions. The Israelites were enduring severe oppression in Egypt, as their cries for liberation had reached the ears of Yahweh. This passage would have reassured the Israelites that despite centuries of slavery, God had not forgotten his promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; he was now taking action to fulfill the covenant he made with their ancestors.
