Alternate translation: "free the Egyptians from their captivity" or "free the people of Egyptians from those who had captured them" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-abstractnouns and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy)

Here "lowly" represents unimportant. Alternate translation: "an unimportant kingdom" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor)
