Talmud zu Schemot 2:25

Israel were redeemed from Egypt for five reasons. [Because of the term,]⁷³Corrector’s addition, to be deleted. because of tribulation, because of entreaty, because of the merit of the Fathers, because of repentance, because of the term⁷⁴The predetermined date for their rescue, Gen. 15:13.. That is what is written⁷⁵Ex. 2:23–25., it was in these important times that the Children of Israel were sighing at the work and crying, because of tribulation; and God heard their wailing, because of entreaty; and God remembered His Covenant, because of the merit of the Fathers. And God saw the children of Israel, because of repentance⁷⁶Pseudo-Jonathan (Ex. 2:25) reads saw and knew as parallels, matters that only God knew or saw: The Eternal saw the pain of the servitude of the Children of Israel and their individual repentance was evident before Him, since no one knew of his neighbor’s., and God knew, because of the term. And so it says⁷⁷Deut. 4:30–31., if you are in trouble, because of tribulation; and all these matters will find you in future times and you will repent, because of repentance; for the Eternal, your God, is a merciful power, because of mercy; He will not let you sink nor destroy you, nor will He forget your Fathers’ Covenant, because of the merit of the Fathers. And so it says⁷⁸Ps. 106:44–46., He saw how they were in trouble, because of tribulation; when He heard their prayer, because of entreaty; and remembered for them His Covenant, because of merit of the Fathers; and consoled them in the abundance of His grace, because of repentance; and He had mercy with them, because of mercy.
