“But because the Lord loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt.”
But because the LORD loved you, and because he would keep the oath which he had sworn unto your fathers, has the LORD brought you out with a mighty hand, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage, from the hand of Pharaoh king of Egypt; -- the dual motivation: divine love for Israel and God's oath to the patriarchs. Redemption (pidyuth) is the historical expression of love and covenant-keeping. The mighty hand brings Israel from slavery.
