Exodus 2:24

And God heard their groaning
The petitions they put up to him with groans and cries:

and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with
Jacob;
that he would bring their seed out of a land not theirs, in which they were strangers, and were afflicted, into the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession.
