The use of "I am" echoes the divine name revealed to Moses in <a href="/exodus/3-14.htm">Exodus 3:14</a>, signifying God's eternal and self-existent nature. It establishes His authority and the basis for the laws given in Leviticus. The declaration "your God" underscores a personal relationship, indicating that God is not a distant deity but one who is intimately involved with His people.<p><b>who brought you out of the land of Egypt</b><br>This reference to the Exodus is a reminder of God's deliverance and faithfulness. The historical event of the Exodus is central to Israel's identity and is frequently mentioned throughout the Old Testament as a demonstration of God's power and love (<a href="/exodus/20-2.htm">Exodus 20:2</a>, <a href="/deuteronomy/5-6.htm">Deuteronomy 5:6</a>). It serves as a type of Christ's redemptive work, where Jesus delivers believers from the bondage of sin (<a href="/john/8-34.htm">John 8:34-36</a>).<p><b>to give you the land of Canaan</b><br>The land of Canaan represents the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham (<a href="/genesis/12-7.htm">Genesis 12:7</a>). It is a tangible sign of God's faithfulness and a place where the Israelites are to live out their covenant relationship with Him. The land is not just a physical inheritance but also a spiritual one, symbolizing rest and blessing. This promise is echoed in the New Testament as believers are promised an eternal inheritance through Christ (<a href="/hebrews/4-8.htm">Hebrews 4:8-10</a>).<p><b>and to be your God</b><br>This phrase reiterates the covenantal theme, emphasizing God's desire for a relationship with His people. It reflects the purpose of the covenant: that God would dwell among His people and they would worship Him alone (<a href="/exodus/29-45.htm">Exodus 29:45-46</a>). This relationship is fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus Christ, who makes it possible for believers to have a personal relationship with God (<a href="/john/1-12.htm">John 1:12</a>, <a href="/2_corinthians/6-16.htm">2 Corinthians 6:16</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord.htm">The LORD (Yahweh)</a></b><br>The covenant-keeping God of Israel, who reveals Himself as the one true God and the deliverer of His people.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_israelites.htm">The Israelites</a></b><br>The chosen people of God, whom He delivered from slavery in Egypt and to whom He gave the land of Canaan.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/e/egypt.htm">Egypt</a></b><br>The land of bondage from which God delivered the Israelites, symbolizing oppression and sin.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/c/canaan.htm">Canaan</a></b><br>The Promised Land given to the Israelites, representing God's faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_exodus.htm">The Exodus</a></b><br>The pivotal event of deliverance where God led the Israelites out of Egypt, demonstrating His power and faithfulness.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/g/god's_faithfulness.htm">God's Faithfulness</a></b><br>God is faithful to His promises, as demonstrated by His deliverance of Israel from Egypt and the gift of the land of Canaan.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/i/identity_and_relationship.htm">Identity and Relationship</a></b><br>Our identity is rooted in our relationship with God, who has delivered us from spiritual bondage and calls us His own.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/r/remembrance_and_gratitude.htm">Remembrance and Gratitude</a></b><br>Remembering God's past deliverance should lead to a life of gratitude and obedience.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/s/spiritual_inheritance.htm">Spiritual Inheritance</a></b><br>Just as Israel received a physical inheritance, believers have a spiritual inheritance in Christ, which calls for faith and trust in God's promises.<br><br><b><a href="/topical/d/dependence_on_god.htm">Dependence on God</a></b><br>Recognizing God as our deliverer and provider encourages us to depend on Him for all our needs.<div class="vheading2">Lists and Questions</div><a href="/top10/lessons_from_leviticus_25.htm">Top 10 Lessons from Leviticus 25</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/what_defines_bioethics.htm">What role did Egyptians play in biblical narratives?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/proof_of_amalek's_erasure.htm">Deuteronomy 25:17-19: Where is the archaeological or historical proof of Amalek's complete destruction and erasure from memory?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/source_of_israelites'_olive_oil.htm">Exodus 27:20: Where would the Israelites consistently obtain the 'pure olive oil' needed to keep the lamp burning in an arid wilderness?</a><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><a href="/q/why_were_canaanites_cursed_as_slaves.htm">Why were the Canaanites cursed with enslavement?</a><a name="commentary" id="commentary"></a><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/leviticus/25.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(38) <span class= "bld">Which brought you forth out of the land of Egypt.</span>--For this appeal to the signal act of redemption from Egypt, see Lev. 12:45.<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/leviticus/25-38.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Hebrew</div><span class="word">I</span><br /><span class="heb">אֲנִ֗י</span> <span class="translit">(’ă·nî)</span><br /><span class="parse">Pronoun -
