Micah 6:4 - Exposition

God answers his own question by recounting some of his chief mercies to Israel. He has not burdened the people, but loaded them with benefits. I brought thee up, etc. The Exodus was the most wonderful instance of God's intervention and to it the prophets often refer (comp. Isaiah 63:11 , etc.; Jeremiah 2:6 ; Amos 2:10 ). Out of the house of servants ; of bondage , quoting the language of the Pentateuch, to show the greatness of the benefit ( Exodus 13:3 , Exodus 13:14 ; Deuteronomy 8:14 , etc.). I sent before thee. As leaders of the Lord's flock ( Psalms 77:20 ). Moses , the inspired leader, teacher, and lawgiver. Aaron , the priest, the director of Divine worship. Miriam , the prophetess, who led the praises of the people at their great deliverance ( Exodus 15:20 ), and who probably was charged with some special mission to the women of Israel (see Numbers 12:1 , Numbers 12:2 ).
