I Am the LORD Thy God Which Have Brought Thee Out of the House of Bondage
Exodus 20:2: "I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage."
I am the LORD thy God: This is God identifying Himself and asserting His authority and relationship with the Israelites. The term “LORD” in all capital letters in the KJV is used to translate the Hebrew name “YHWH,” often pronounced “Yahweh” or “Jehovah.” It’s a personal name God revealed to Moses in the burning bush.
which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt: Here, God is reminding the Israelites of the miraculous deliverance He provided for them, freeing them from slavery in Egypt. This act was not just a physical deliverance but also had significant spiritual and covenantal implications.
out of the house of bondage: This is another way of saying “out of slavery.” God is emphasizing that He saved the Israelites from severe oppression and hardship in Egypt.
For the LORD Thy God Is with Thee Whithersoever Thou Goest
Joshua 1:9: "Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest."
Have not I commanded thee?: God is reminding Joshua of the commands and promises He has given. This sets a tone of authority and emphasizes the importance of what is to follow.
Be strong and of a good courage: God is encouraging Joshua to be brave and steadfast. It’s not just physical strength but also mental and spiritual resilience that’s being highlighted.
be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: Here, God is emphasizing that Joshua should not let fear or discouragement take over. He’s reassuring Joshua that there’s no need to be overwhelmed by the tasks ahead.
for the LORD thy God is with thee: This is the crux of the message. God is assuring Joshua of His constant presence and support. It’s a direct reminder that with God on his side, Joshua has nothing to fear.
whithersoever thou goest: This means “wherever you go.” It emphasizes the omnipresence of God – He’s with Joshua at all times, no matter where he is or what challenges he faces.
The LORD, Which Maketh a Way in the Sea, and a Path in the Mighty Waters
Isaiah 43:16: "Thus saith the LORD, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters; Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power; they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow."
“maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters”: This phrase refers to God’s power and ability to create paths where they seem impossible. It’s reminiscent of the parting of the Red Sea, a miracle performed by God to allow the Israelites to escape from Egypt.
“Which bringeth forth the chariot and horse, the army and the power”: This speaks of the might of the Egyptian army, which pursued the Israelites during their exodus from Egypt. The chariots, horses, and the army symbolize strength and power.
“they shall lie down together, they shall not rise: they are extinct, they are quenched as tow”: This portrays the fate of the Egyptian army. Despite their might and power, they were defeated by God. The army’s demise is depicted as complete and final, emphasizing God’s supreme power and control.
I Will Save Thee from Afar, and Thy Seed from the Land of Their Captivity
Jeremiah 30:10: "Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid."
“fear thou not, O my servant Jacob”: Here, God addresses Jacob, representing the nation of Israel, assuring them not to be afraid. God calls Jacob His “servant,” emphasizing a close and protective relationship.
“neither be dismayed, O Israel”: “Israel” is another name for Jacob, and here, God reaffirms His promise. The term “dismayed” means deeply distressed or upset, so God’s message is one of comfort and assurance.
“I will save thee from afar”: This suggests that even if Israel feels distant from God or is in a foreign land, God’s saving power will reach them. He emphasizes His omnipresence and unwavering commitment to His people.
“thy seed from the land of their captivity”: The term “seed” refers to the descendants of Israel. God promises to rescue them from places where they’ve been held captive or oppressed.
“Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid”: This is a promise of restoration and peace. God assures Israel that they will return to their homeland, live in peace, and not be threatened by any enemy.”
I Brought Thee Up Out of the Land of Egypt, and Redeemed Thee Out of the House of Servants
Micah 6:4: "For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam."

“and redeemed thee out of the house of servants”: The term “house of servants” refers to the Israelites’ time of slavery in Egypt. God’s act of redemption signifies not only physical freedom but also a spiritual liberation from oppression.

Moses is the primary leader and prophet, Aaron as the high priest, and Miriam as a prophetess and leader among the women.

“therefore he chose their seed after them,”: This signifies that God’s love extended not just to the ancestors but also to their descendants, selecting them for a special purpose.
