Deuteronomy 26:7-8
26:7 So we cried out to the Lord, the God of our ancestors, and he 1 heard us and saw our humiliation, toil, and oppression.
26:8 Therefore the Lord brought us out of Egypt with tremendous strength and power, 2 as well as with great awe-inspiring signs and wonders.
1 tn Heb “the Lord.” See note on “he” in 26:2.
2 tn Heb “by a powerful hand and an extended arm.” These are anthropomorphisms designed to convey God’s tremendously great power in rescuing Israel from their Egyptian bondage. They are preserved literally in many English versions (cf. KJV, NAB, NIV, NRSV).
