Echo

Later text

Leviticus 26:40-42BSB

But if they will confess their iniquity and that of their fathers in the unfaithfulness that they practiced against Me, by which they have also walked in hostility toward Me— and I acted with hostility toward them and brought them into the land of their enemies—and if their uncircumcised hearts will be humbled and they will make amends for their iniquity, then I will remember My covenant with Jacob and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham, and I will remember the land.

Earlier text

Exodus 2:6BSB

When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the little boy was crying. So she had compassion on him and said, "This is one of the Hebrew children."

Significance

Exodus 2:6 records Pharaoh's daughter seeing the infant Moses and having compassion (וַתַּחְמֹל, vattachmol) on him, recognizing him as "one of the Hebrew children"—a moment where divine providence works through pagan compassion to preserve the future deliverer. Leviticus 26:40-42 envisions a future restoration where God will remember His covenant after Israel humbles its heart in exile. The shared theme is divine compassion activating deliverance: in Exodus 2, God uses human pity to preserve His chosen instrument; in Leviticus 26, God Himself acts on covenant compassion once the conditions of confession and humility are met, promising a pattern of restoration that echoes the original Egyptian deliverance.
