- They had cried to God and God had heard their prayers.
- They had increased in number and this was a threat to the Egyptians
- It was a fulfillment of God’s promise to Abraham that his descendants would be enslaved in
a foreign land for 400 years and later God would remove them to give them the Promised
Land.
