Exodus 2:23

21 Then Moses was content to live with the man, and he gave ^aZipporah his daughter to Moses.

22 And she bore him a son. He called his name ^aGershom, for he said, “I have been ^ba stranger in a foreign land.”

23 Now it happened ^ain the process of time that the king of Egypt died. Then the children of Israel ^bgroaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and ^ctheir cry came up to God because of the bondage.

24 So God ^aheard their groaning, and God ^bremembered His ^ccovenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

25 And God ^alooked upon the children of Israel, and God ^backnowledged them.

Exodus 2:23

In process of time - Nearly forty years Acts 7:30. This verse marks the beginning of another section. We now enter at once upon the history of the Exodus.

Their cry came up unto God - This statement, taken in connection with the two following verses, proves that the Israelites retained their faith in the God of their Fathers. The divine name, "God," 'ĕlohı̂ym , is chosen because it was that which the Israelites must have used in their cry for help, that under which the covenant had been ratified with the Patriarchs (compare James 5:4).
