So I brought them out of the land of Egypt
This phrase marks a pivotal moment in the history of Israel, highlighting God's deliverance of His people from bondage. The Hebrew word for "brought" is "yatsa," which conveys the act of leading out or delivering. This action underscores God's role as a redeemer and liberator, fulfilling His covenant promise to Abraham. The "land of Egypt" symbolizes a place of oppression and idolatry, from which God rescued the Israelites, setting the stage for their journey to the Promised Land. This deliverance is a recurring theme in Scripture, reminding believers of God's power and faithfulness in freeing His people from spiritual bondage.

and led them into the wilderness
The "wilderness" in Hebrew is "midbar," often seen as a place of testing and transformation. It is in the wilderness that God provided the Law and established a covenant with Israel. This period was meant to refine and prepare the Israelites for their future as a nation set apart for God. The wilderness experience is symbolic of the Christian journey, where believers are often led through trials to develop faith and reliance on God. Historically, the wilderness was a harsh and barren land, yet it was here that God demonstrated His provision and presence, guiding His people with a pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night. This journey through the wilderness is a testament to God's sustaining grace and His desire to shape His people into a community that reflects His holiness and love.

(10) Brought them into the wilderness.--Here begins the second period of the history under review--viz., the earlier part of the life in the wilderness (Ezekiel 20:10-17). It includes the exodus, the giving of the law, the setting up of the tabernacle, the establishment of the priesthood, and the march to Kadesh. By all this the nation was constituted most distinctly the people of God, and brought into the closest covenant relation with him.
