Explanation of the Traditional Text
Vayotzianu talks about God's final actions to take the people out of the land of Egypt. He used "a strong hand" in order to smite the Egyptian first borns of the land. God personally decides to pass through the houses, instead of sending a messenger angel to take care of the work. He outstretches His arm, proving his capabilities in the position of Commander-In-Chief and instills terror unto the people. He does this to prove that no other god would be able to go to such distances in order to save a nation from oppression. He points to Moses' rod as a seeable sign of God in the land and tells the people that he will bring miracles into their lives.
