Psalms 105:24

24. Made them stronger than their enemies See Exodus 1:7-9, where they are said to be “more and mightier” than the Egyptians; that is, than native born Egyptians; probably, not more than the total population under the government. The defense of the nation rested with the native citizens. Not their numbers only, but the superior strength, of the Hebrews alarmed the Egyptians. At the time of the exodus the Hebrews are commonly computed to have numbered about two and a half millions, and up to the date of Exodus 1:8, they had political power. from this to Psalms 105:38 the events leading to the exodus are rehearsed.
