Kommentar zu Dewarim 26:6
וַיָּרֵ֧עוּ אֹתָ֛נוּ הַמִּצְרִ֖ים וַיְעַנּ֑וּנוּ וַיִּתְּנ֥וּ עָלֵ֖ינוּ עֲבֹדָ֥ה קָשָֽׁה׃
Und die Ägypter handelten schlecht mit uns und bedrängten uns und legten uns harte Knechtschaft auf.
Sforno on Deuteronomy
ויענונו ויתנו עלינו עבודה קשה, seeing that once the Jewish people had become a nation they were not legally capable of receiving gifts as the gifts given to slaves automatically belong to the slave’s master.

Haamek Davar on Deuteronomy

Rav Hirsch on Torah
V. 6. הרע ,וירעו אתנו jemandem wehe tun, ihn misshandeln, wird mit ל־, aber auch mit את konstruiert. So ולא הרעתי את אחד מהם (Bamidbar 16, 15). מנעני מהרע אותך (Sam. I. 25, 34).
