“You!
You showed signs!
You showed wonders
In the land of Egypt!
To this day
In Israel,
As well as among all humans,
You have made yourself
A name,
That continues to this very day.
You brought
Your people Israel
Out of the land of Egypt
With signs,
With wonders,
With a strong hand,
With an outstretched arm,
With great terror.”
The prayer of Jeremiah continues as he says that Yahweh performed many signs and wonders in Egypt. Thus even until the present, not only in Egypt and Israel, but throughout the whole world, everyone knows the name of the God of Israel. Yahweh brought his people out of Egypt with many signs and wonders that brought terror to the Egyptians. He had used a strong outstretched arm and hand to protect them in their journey from Egypt.
