Wherefore I caused them to go forth out of the land of Egypt, and brought them into the wilderness.
Ver. 10. Wherefore I caused them.] With a strong hand and an outstretched arm I caused it, against all the force of Egypt. Exo 13:18 God hath also mightily brought England out of Egypt spiritually, and dealt with it, not according to his ordinary rule, but according to his prerogative.
And brought them into the wilderneas.] Where I was not any "wilderness unto them, or land of darkness," Jer 2:31 but a God all-sufficient, raining bread from heaven upon them, and setting the flint abroach, rather than they should pine and perish.
