Kabbalah zu Schemot 6:5
וְגַ֣ם ׀ אֲנִ֣י שָׁמַ֗עְתִּי אֶֽת־נַאֲקַת֙ בְּנֵ֣י יִשְׂרָאֵ֔ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר מִצְרַ֖יִם מַעֲבִדִ֣ים אֹתָ֑ם וָאֶזְכֹּ֖ר אֶת־בְּרִיתִֽי׃
Und nun habe ich gehört das Wehklagen der Kinder Israel, die von den Ägyptern bedrückt werden, und habe gedacht meines Bundes.
Zohar
"Yet trouble came." It was the trouble and confusion about Joseph, which was the hardest affliction of all. Why? Because Jacob loved Joseph, who is the secret of the Covenant through which Jacob entered Egypt. After this, it is written, "I remembered my covenant" (Beresheet 9:15), because the Shechinah was there with him, with the Covenant, who is Joseph. Thus, the confusion about Joseph was harder on him than all other afflictions that befell him.

Zohar
Come and behold: During the time when the wrath (of Judgment) was raging throughout the world, Noah was not mentioned. But after the Judgment was completed, what does the scripture say? It says, "And Elohim remembered Noah." Now was his name mentioned. A different explanation of "And Elohim remembered Noah" is that it is similar to "And I remembered My covenant" (Shemot 6:5).
