God's discipline, shown in the signs and wonders in Egypt that the older generation saw. In Job it is also the pain that teaches a person, and in the psalms it is God's punishment of the nations.
Interpretation. Tradition teaches that remembering what God did in Egypt is a lesson in loyalty and fear of the LORD. Job's friend Elihu is read as saying that suffering can open a person's ears to instruction.
