God's Claim is Based on Redemption
Commentators emphasize that God's statement, "I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt," is not just a historical reminder. It's the foundation of His relationship with Israel. By redeeming them, He established His exclusive right to be their God. As John Calvin notes, just as Christ's death and resurrection make Him Lord of believers today, God's deliverance from Egypt made Him Lord of Israel. Their allegiance was owed to Him because He had saved them.
