Exegesis

This is further defined by the relative clause asher heʾekhalti etkhem bammidbar {אֲשֶׁר הֶאֱכַלְתִּי אֶתְכֶם בַּמִּדְבָּר | ʾă-šer he-ʾe-khal-tî ʾet-kem ba-mmid-bār} ‘which I fed you in the wilderness’, where the Hiphil perfect heʾekhalti emphasizes divine provision.

The temporal clause behotsiʾi etkhem meʾerets Mitsrayim {בְּהוֹצִיאִי אֶתְכֶם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם | bə-hō-ṣî-ʾî ʾet-kem mê-ʾe-reṣ miṣ-rā-yim} ‘when I brought you out of the land of Egypt’ links the memorial action to the exodus event. English supplies auxiliary verbs and a declarative structure to reflect the Hebrew’s temporal and purposive syntax while maintaining clause order.
