Exodus 3:17

And I have said ,.... Within himself, resolved in his own mind, and had declared it to Moses:

I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt : with which they were afflicted in Egypt, and by the Egyptians; this he both purposed and promised to bring them out of: unto the land of the Canaanites, &c.; then in the possession of the Canaanites, and others after named; See Gill on Exodus 3:8 .
