Nehemiah 1:10 - Exposition

Thy people whom thou hast redeemed by thy great power . It would be better to translate, "Whom thou didst redeem." The reference is especially to the deliverance from Egypt, which is so constantly spoken of as effected "with a mighty hand and with an outstretched arm" ( Deuteronomy 9:29 ; Deuteronomy 26:8 , etc. ).
