In Exodus, God shows his love for the children of Israel when He visits plagues upon the captors od those people and delivers His children from captivity. He has Moses be the vehicle whereby His will is executed: "And the Lord said unto Moses, 'Stretch out thine hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, even darkness which may be felt'" (95).
