What the Fathers say
Eastern Fathers
John Chrysostom
"I have seen, I have seen the affliction of My people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And now come, I will send thee into Egypt." See, how he shows, that both by kindnesses, and by chastisements, and by miracles, God was drawing them to Him: but they were still the same. That God is everywhere present, they learned. Hearing these things, let us in our afflictions flee to Him. …
Theophylact of Ohrid
"Remove the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground." The place is holy because of the appearance of Christ and is worthy of greater wonder than that which was in the Holy of Holies, because there was never such an appearance there. Furthermore, the great providence of God is also evident, because it says: "I have seen the oppression of My people… and have heard their groaning, and I have come down to deliver them."
