Translation note
The Hebrew says only “and Elohim knew,” without saying what. It can be understood that he took account of his people’s situation (compare 3:7: “I know their sufferings”).
The context
24Elohim heard their groaning, and Elohim remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.
