This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
In the day that I took them (en hēmerāi epilabomenou mou). Genitive absolute (mou and second aorist middle participle of epilambanō), “a Hellenistic innovation” (Moffatt) in imitation of the Hebrew after hēmerāi in place of en hēi epelabomen, occurring also in Barn. 2:28.
By the hand (tēs cheiros). Technical use of the genitive of the part affected.
To lead them forth (exagagein autous). Second aorist active infinitive of exagō to denote purpose.
For they continued not (hoti autoi ouk enemeinan). First aorist active indicative of emmenō, old verb to remain in (Act 14:22). The Israelites broke the covenant. Then God annulled it.
I regarded not (ēmelēsa). “I neglected” as in Heb 2:3. The covenant was void when they broke it.
