For 400 years, the people of Israel were slaves in Egypt. We read of their affliction and groaning. While Pharaoh did not know Joseph, the Lord did. Not only did the Lord remember Joseph, but he remembered his covenantal promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Israel was his firstborn son. While Pharaoh did not care for the Israelites, the Lord did care for them. He heard their groaning, he cared about their cries, and he had a plan for their redemption.

To be known is to be loved. “God saw the people of Israel and God knew” (2:25). Just as a parent knows his or her child, so God knows his people. In knowing them, he loves them.

To be known is to be understood. “Their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God” (2:23). The Lord heard the cries of his children, and he understood their pain. The Lord truly saw their desperate situation. He knew, he understood, and he cared for his people.

To be known is to be valued. “And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob” (2:24). The Israelites were God’s chosen people. They were precious to him, his firstborn son. Because of their great value, the Lord will redeem his people from their slavery. He will fulfill his covenant.
