Quick answer
The prophet recounts how God rescued Israel from all their oppressors and gave them the land.
Overview
God reminds Israel that He delivered them from Egypt and from every enemy, driving out the nations to give them their inheritance. This rehearsal of grace heightens the seriousness of their current unfaithfulness. The Lord's past faithfulness underscores that their suffering stems not from His weakness but from their sin.
