[vs: 8] So I have come down to rescue them from the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land into a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey-the home of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites.
[vs: 9] And now the cry of the Israelites has reached me, and I have seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing them.
