Exodus 2:25 ASV

²³  And it came to pass in the course of those many days, that the king of Egypt died: and the children of Israel sighed by reason of the bondage, and they cried, and their cry came up unto God by reason of the bondage.

²⁴  And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

²⁵  And God saw the children of Israel, and God took knowledge 'of them'.
