Exegesis
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.
