Midrasch zu Schemot 3:9
וְעַתָּ֕ה הִנֵּ֛ה צַעֲקַ֥ת בְּנֵי־יִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל בָּ֣אָה אֵלָ֑י וְגַם־רָאִ֙יתִי֙ אֶת־הַלַּ֔חַץ אֲשֶׁ֥ר מִצְרַ֖יִם לֹחֲצִ֥ים אֹתָֽם׃
Denn die Klage der Kinder Israel ist vor mich gekommen, auch hab‘ ich gesehen den Druck, wie die Ägypter sie bedrücken.
Midrash Tanchuma Buber
(Exod. 3:9:) BUT NOW LOOK, THE CRY OF ISRAEL'S CHILDREN HAS COME UNTO ME, AND I HAVE ALSO SEEN THE OPPRESSION < WITH WHICH THE EGYPTIANS OPPRESS THEM >. <This verse > teaches that the Holy One looked at the Egyptians, at how they had enslaved Israel. It is so stated (ibid.): LOOK, THE CRY OF ISRAEL'S CHILDREN HAS COME UNTO ME, AND I HAVE ALSO SEEN THE OPPRESSION…. I, as it were, am with them. <As for THE OPPRESSION > WITH WHICH THE EGYPTIANS OPPRESS THEM, (according to vs. 8) I HAVE COME DOWN TO DELIVER THEM <OUT OF THE HAND OF THE EGYPTIANS >.

"and our lachatz": This is oppression, viz. (Shemoth 3:9): "and I have also seen the oppression wherewith the Egyptians oppress them."
