The Lord Resolves to Deliver Israel

v. 23. And it came to pass: in process of time that the king of Egypt died,
the Pharaoh on whose account Moses had found it necessary to flee; and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage. This was many days, about forty years, after the flight of Moses. The oppression of the children of Israel continued also under the new Pharaoh, and since they had hoped for some relief, their crying arose to heaven with all the greater fervency.

v. 24. And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
He had, of course, never forgotten it, but He took occasion to reflect and to act upon it.

v. 25. And God looked upon the children of Israel, and God had respect unto them.
He looked into the case and was constrained to interfere in behalf of His people. When God's hour of deliverance has come, He always sees to it that the temptation is speedily brought to a close.
