Exegesis
Two construct chains, me’eretz Mitzrayim {מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם | mê-’e-reṣ Mitz-rā-yim} ‘from the land of Egypt’ and mi-beit avadim {מִבֵּית עֲבָדִים | mib-bêt ʿă-vā-dim} ‘from the house of slaves’, underscore divine deliverance as foundational to covenant identity. The translation preserves the causal and legal structure to maintain the verse’s authoritative tone.
In context — Deuteronomy 13:10
And you shall stone him with stones, and he shall die, because he sought to lead you astray from the LORD your God who brought you out from the land of Egypt, from the house of slaves .
