17 For it is Jehovah our God who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt,+ out of the house of slaves,+ and who performed these great signs before our eyes+ and who kept guarding us in all the way in which we walked and among all the peoples through the midst of whom we passed.+

8 “As soon as Jacob* had come into Egypt*+ and YOUR forefathers began calling to Jehovah for aid,+ Jehovah proceeded to send Moses+ and Aaron, that they might lead YOUR forefathers out from Egypt and cause* them to dwell in this place.+
