“I removed his shoulder from the burden: his hands were delivered from the pots.”
God speaks about Israel's liberation: "I relieved your shoulder of the burden; your hands were freed from the basket." The metaphorical language describes Israel's slavery in Egypt (the basket suggesting work with clay or grain) and God's liberation. The image of burden-bearing followed by freedom establishes God's role as liberator.
