Here a people
redeemed only yesterday
out of slavery had acknowledged the Lord as the Shatterer
of their own tight little prison, and had entered into a Covenant with him, accepting his commitment to them and reciting their own vows
of faithfulness.
To this same mountain Moses brought Israel where she — a people
redeemed only yesterday
out of slavery — acknowledged Yahweh as the Shatterer
of her own tight little prison, and entered a covenant with him, accepting his commitment to her and reciting her own vows
of faithfulness.
