כִּי֩ מֵֽאַהֲבַ֨ת יְהוָ֜ה אֶתְכֶ֗ם וּמִשָּׁמְר֤וּ אֶת־הַשְּׁבֻעָה֙ אֲשֶׁ֤ר נִשְׁבַּע֙ לַאֲבֹ֣תֵיכֶ֔ם הוֹצִ֧יא יְהוָ֛ה אֶתְכֶ֖ם בְּיָ֣ד חֲזָקָ֑ה וַֽיִּפְדְּךָ֙ מִבֵּ֣ית עֲבָדִ֔ים מִיַּ֖ד פַּרְעֹ֥ה מֶֽלֶךְ־מִצְרָֽיִם׃
Tetapi karena Yang Mahakekal mengasihi kamu dan memegang sumpah yang telah diikrarkan-Nya kepada nenek moyangmu, maka Yang Mahakekal telah membawa kamu keluar dengan tangan yang kuat dan menebus engkau dari rumah perbudakan, dari tangan Firaun, raja Mesir.
Duties of the Heart
More on this matter: it is evident that for a person who was the friend of our fathers and our forefathers, we are obligated to recall this love by honoring him and treating him with love, as the wise man said: "Your own friend, and your father's friend, forsake not" (Mishlei 27:10). And the Creator reminds us of the bris (covenant) of our forefathers and His providence over us due to them, and in order to fulfill His covenant with them, as written: "But because of the L-ord's love for you, and because He keeps the oath He swore to your forefathers" (Devarim 7:8), and many more like this.
