Exodus 2:24
"And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And God heard their groaning,.... The petitions they put up to him with groans and cries: and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob; that he

would bring their seed out of a land not theirs, in which they were strangers, and were afflicted, into the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession.
