John Gill Bible Commentary

And the Lord brought us forth out of Egypt,.... After some time: with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm; by his almighty power, of which full proof was given by what he then did, Deu 5:15, and with great terribleness: to Pharaoh and his people, through the plagues that were inflicted on them, especially the last, the slaying of their firstborn; see Deu 4:34, and with signs and with wonders; wrought by the hands of Moses and Aaron, meaning the ten plagues, often so called.
