Exegesis
The phrase mitakhat yad-mitsrayim {מִתַּ֖חַת יַד־מִצְרָֽיִם | mit-ta-ḥat yad-miṣ-rā-yim} ‘from under the hand of Egypt’ intensifies the imagery of subjugation. The English preserves the relative clauses to mirror Hebrew causal structure while retaining “hand” literally in the formal to preserve the metaphor.
In context — Exodus 18:10
And Jethro said, “Blessed be the LORD , who has rescued you from the hand of Egypt and from the hand of Pharaoh, who has delivered the people from under the hand of Egypt.”
