Exodus 2:23-25

GOD’S WORD Translation

The Israelites Pray to God during Their Suffering

²³ After a long time passed, the king of Egypt died. The Israelites still groaned because they were slaves. So they cried out, and their cries for help went up to God. ²⁴ God heard their groaning, and he remembered his promise ^[a] to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. ²⁵ God saw the Israelites ⌞being oppressed⌟ and was concerned about them.
