10. I am the Lord thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt. Thus did
Jehovah usually introduce himself to his people. The great deliverance out of
Egypt was that claim upon his people’s allegiance which he most usually
pleaded. Open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it. Because he had brought
them out of Egypt he could do great things for them. He had proved his power
and his good will; it remained only for his people to believe in him and ask
large things of him. The Lord began with his chosen nation upon a great scale,
doing great wonders for them, and offering them vast returns for their faith
and love, if they would but be faithful to him. Sad, indeed, was the result of
this grand experiment.
