This continues what the Israelite must say when he brings his first crops to Yahweh.

## treated us badly and afflicted us ##

These two phrases say basically the same thing. They emphasize that the Egyptians acted very harshly. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])

## treated us ##

Here "us" refers to the people of Israel that were living in Egypt. The speaker includes himself as one of the people whether he lived in Egypt or not.

## he heard our voice ##

"he heard our cries" or "he heard our prayers" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])

## our affliction...our oppression ##

These mean basically the same thing. They emphasize that God saw that they were suffering. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
