  God’s self-introduction as the One Who took you out of Egypt connects to the truth of God’s existence, as evidenced by the cosmos.  It adds, however, the important detail that the Creator is also the Redeemer. In sum, God’s self-revelation as “the one Who took you out of Egypt” does not contradict the tenet that God reveals Himself through His works; it rather adds to it an important point, either overlooked or denied by the philosophers. Immediately afterwards, however, and quite characteristically, Ibn Ezra continues his exposition in a somewhat different vein. He observes that the next word, “your God”, conveys our obligation to worship; finally, the remainder of the sentence, “Who took you out of Egypt”, simply hints at the miracles that are all the simple folk have to lean upon in their belief.
