A Defining Rescue
Commentators explain that this verse recalls the Exodus, the foundational event of Israel's identity. This wasn't just a single act but the entire process of God delivering the 'house of Jacob' from the bondage of Egypt, a nation with a foreign and 'strange language.' This powerful rescue demonstrated God's special love and established them as His people.
