SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:6
y los egipcios nos maltrataron, y nos afligieron, y pusieron sobre nosotros dura servidumbre.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 6. And the Egyptians evil entreated us , etc.] Ordered their male children to be killed by the midwives, and by another edict to be drowned by the people: and afflicted us ; by setting taskmasters over them, who put heavy burdens upon them: and laid upon us hard bondage ; in mortar and brick, and all manner of field service, in which they made them serve with rigour, and whereby their lives were made bitter; (see Exodus 1:9-22).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-11 - When God has made good his promises to us, he expects we should own it to the honour of his faithfulness. And our creature comforts are doubl sweet, when we see them flowing from the fountain of the promise. The person who offered his first-fruits, must remember and own the mea origin of that nation, of which he was a member. A Syrian ready to perish was my father. Jacob is here called a Syrian. Their nation in its infancy sojourned in Egypt as strangers, they served there a slaves. They were a poor, despised, oppressed people in Egypt; an though become rich and great, had no reason to be proud, secure, or forgetful of God. He must thankfully acknowledge God's great goodnes to Israel. The comfort we have in our own enjoyments, should lead us to be thankful for our share in public peace and plenty; and with presen mercies we should bless the Lord for the former mercies we remember and the further mercies we expect and hope for. He must offer his basket of first-fruits. Whatever good thing God gives us, it is his will that we make the most comfortable use we can of it, tracing the streams to the Fountain of all consolation.
