Exodus 2:23-25

Living Bible

²³ Several years later the king of Egypt died. The Israelis were groaning beneath their burdens, in deep trouble because of their slavery, and weeping bitterly before the Lord. He heard their cries from heaven, ²⁴ and remembered his promise to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob to bring their descendants back into the land of Canaan.^{[a] 25} Looking down upon them, he knew that the time had come for their rescue.^[b]
