General Information:
Parallelism is common in Hebrew poetry. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/writing-poetry and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)
When Israel left Egypt, the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language
These two lines are parallel, with "Israel" and "the house of Jacob" meaning the same thing and "Egypt" and "that foreign people" referring to the same people. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism)
the house of Jacob from a people who spoke a foreign language
The word "house" here represents the family or descendents. The verb may be supplied to this phrase. Alternate translation: "the descendants of Jacob left people who spoke a language that the descendants of Jacob did not understand" (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy and rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-ellipsis)
