In this verse, (NO. 49) God points at another valuable GIFT, and important FAVOUR of HIS, bestowed on the Israelites, and that was their freedom: ``When we saved you from the folk of PHARAOH, who subjected you to severe torment killing your males and sparing your females, to be used in their services.'' The bondage of the folk of Pharaoh was indeed a tremendous trial and torment for them.
