And Samuel said unto them, It is the LORD that advanced Moses and Aaron — Samuel now shifts from his own integrity to God's faithfulness. He rehearses God's saving acts with 'It is the LORD' (YHWH), emphasizing divine agency. Moses and Aaron were raised up ('asher hegbiah) by God to lead Israel, establishing the prophetic and priestly heritage. and that brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt — God's foundational saving act is the exodus, the deliverance from slavery. This is Israel's defining moment of salvation and covenant.
