“This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.”
The focus shifts to historical memory: "He made it a decree in Joseph when he went out over the land of Egypt. I hear a voice I had not known." The transition to first-person singular speech suggests that a prophet or priestly speaker now introduces God's direct speech to the people. The voice that had not been previously known will now speak to convey God's will.
