Exegesis
The prepositional phrases me-erets mitsrayim {מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרָיִם | mê-’e-reṣ mits-rā-yim} and et-erets kenaʾan {אֶת־אֶרֶץ כְּנַעַן | ’et-’e-reṣ kə-na-ʾan} specify spatial domains. The sequence of deliverance, land grant, and divine lordship reflects covenant structure and is retained in translation to honor the theological progression.
