Having just written ?ve?es Tza?akasom Shama?ati? (3:7) why does Hashem repeat ?Tza?akas B?nei Yisrael Ba?ah Eilai??
Ramban #1: Since the Egyptians had gone too far in their oppression of Yisrael, their cries had reached the Heavenly Throne. 1 Consequently, Hashem would no longer turn a blind eye to what Par?oh was doing, but would proceed to take action.
Ramban #2 and R. Bachye (according to Kabalah): ?Tza?akas B?nei Yisrae? refers to the Midas ha?Din ? like ?ha?ke?Tza?akasah (Tza?akas ?Hey?) ha?Ba?ah Eilai? (Vayeira Bereishis 18:21).
Seforno: He meant that He had accepted their prayers, because they were genuine. 2
Oznayim la'Torah: Having revealed to Moshe His plan to take Yisrael out of Egypt and to take them to the land of the seven nations, He informs him that He now wants to implement the first part of His plan - to punish Par?oh and take Yisrael out of Egypt, through him. 3
What was Hashem adding when He concluded "ve?Gam Ra?isi es ha?Lachatz ? "?
Ramban and Seforno: He was telling Moshe that He was about to avenge what Par?oh and his people had done to Yisrael, for going beyond the decree to subjugate Yisrael. 1
R. Bachye (citing R. Chananel): Yosef settled the seventy souls that came down to Egypt in Goshen, only they proliferated to such an extent that it became much too small to accommodate them all ? but the Egyptians would not allow them to expand. 2
