15 Remember that you became a slave in the land of Egypt and that Jehovah your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.+ That is why Jehovah your God commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.

26 I began to make supplication to Jehovah and to say, ‘O Sovereign Lord Jehovah, do not bring your people to ruin. They are your personal possession,*+ whom you redeemed through your greatness and brought out of Egypt with a mighty hand.+

29 For they are your people and your personal possession,*+ whom you brought out with your great power and your outstretched arm.’+
