Explanation preview
Moses is speaking to the Israelites as they leave Egypt, instructing them about the annual festival of Unleavened Bread and the consecration of firstborn sons. Verse 14 anticipates a child asking what these rituals mean, and the answer is not an explanation of the ceremony itself but a retelling of the exodus: God brought Israel out of Egypt "with a mighty hand." The Hebrew word for "mighty" here is chazaq, meaning strong or firm.
