Exegesis
The frame mimitzrayim veadhennah {מִמִּצְרַ֖יִם וְעַד־הֵֽנָּה | mî-miṣ-rā-yim wə-ʿad-hen-nā(h)} ‘from Egypt until now’ highlights the continuity of divine pardon. The Hebrew vav-coordinated structures link the plea with the precedent of past forgiveness, creating a balanced appeal grounded in Israel’s history.
