Study note
Setting — God addresses Israel in a context of national vulnerability, immediately following the shepherd imagery of Micah 7:14. He declares that He will intervene on their behalf at this specific moment of need.
The words — The phrase כִּימֵ֥י צֵאתְ/ךָ֖ מֵ/אֶ֣רֶץ מִצְרָ֑יִם (ki./Mei tze.te./Kha me./'E.retz mitz.Ra.yim) literally renders "in the days of your going out from the land of Egypt." The verb אַרְאֶ֖/נּוּ ('ar.'E./nu) translates directly as "I will show him."
The thread — This Exodus parallel appears in Psalms 78:12 and Exodus 3:20, where God reiterates His past miraculous interventions in Egypt. Isaiah 51:9 similarly calls God to awaken and act as He did in former generations.
Why it lands — The text states that God will demonstrate His power in a manner identical to the Exodus. This establishes a precedent that requires the reader to anticipate intervention based on established action rather than new motives.
