Similarly, if they had changed their language, even though they had not changed their names, nevertheless their names would not have indicated the redemption. For specifically in the holy language [Hebrew], the name Reuben points to I have surely seen the affliction of my people, and Simeon to God has heard, but in another language, the name Reuben would not indicate “I have seen,” and likewise for all of them. Because they were fenced in from immorality, they were not fit to be among the Egyptians who were steeped in lewdness, as it says about them: whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses (Ezekiel 23:20). And because there was no evil speech among them, and they kept hidden let every woman ask of her neighbor, therefore they were redeemed. For if this matter had not been kept hidden, the Egyptians would not have lent them anything, and then it would not have been possible to redeem them, lest that elder [Abraham] say: They will serve them and they will afflict them was fulfilled, but afterward they will go out with great wealth was not fulfilled. Therefore it says: These are the names of the children of Israel, for even though Joseph had died and the bondage was about to begin, nevertheless the impression of redemption remained intact, because these names came with them previously, and with them they are coming also now, for their names did not change. And this is proof that they also did not change their language, otherwise there would be no significance to the fact that they did not change their names.

According to the Jerusalem Talmud, we drink four cups of wine on the eve of Passover for the four promises of redemption: "I will take you out;" "I will save you;" "I will redeem you;" I will take you to be my people." (Ex. 6:6-7) These four promises are related to the four ways in which Israel gained the merit to be redeemed:
a) Prayer, as it is stated in scripture: "The children of Israel groaned under the bondage and cried out, and their cry for help from the bondage rose up to God." (Ex. 2:23) In response to this, scripture states: "God took notice of them." (Exodus 2:24) God knew that the time had come to redeem them and to destroy the heavenly prince of Egypt. That is why God promised "I will take you out from the labors of Egypt."
b) The offering of the Pesach sacrifice: Through this offering the Israelites were freed from Egyptian idolatry, as Pharaoh said: "What have we done, releasing Israel from our service?" (Ex. 14:5) Yet the redemption was not complete since it was clear as they stood by the sea that they still feared the Egyptians. That is why God promised "I will deliver you from (idolatrous) service."³⁰Note that the Hebrew for this verse is "I will save you mei'avodatchem, from their bondage." The word avodah has multiple meanings - either bondage or service to either idolatry (avodah zarah) or to God (avodat hakodesh). Rabbi Ettlinger doesn’t include this verse here but implies that God saved Israel from serving the gods of Egypt.
c) They cried out to the Holy One at the sea. Midrash Shir HaShirim states: "Let me hear your voice." (Song 2:14) Israel cried out to God at the sea…when Israel cried out, God immediately saved them on that day by destroying Pharaoh and all of Egypt. That is why God promised "I will you redeem you with an outstretched arm."
d) Israel gave thanks and sang songs of praise. Because of their praise God made them His people, as it is stated: "In Your love, You led the people you redeemed; in Your strength You led them to Your holy abode." (Ex. 15:13) This is the song of thanksgiving and the purpose of the fourth cup.

בכל קראנו אליו. Moses refers to matters which have been documented in Exodus 2,24 וישמע אלוקים את נאקתם, “G’d heard their moaning,” and Exodus 14,10 ופרעה הקריב ויצעקו בני ישראל אל ה', “when Pharaoh (in his pursuit) drew near, the Children of Israel cried out to the Lord.” Similar appeals were made before G’d gave them the manna, the quails, and the traveling well. (compare Exodus 16,12 and 17,6)
