Contextual Overview
1 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh, for compelled by my strong hand he will release them, and by my strong hand he will drive them out of his land." 2 God spoke to Moses and said to him, "I am the Lord . 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name ‘the Lord ' I was not known to them. 4 I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, where they were living as resident foreigners. 5 I have also heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant. 6 Therefore, tell the Israelites, ‘I am the Lord . I will bring you out from your enslavement to the Egyptians, I will rescue you from the hard labor they impose, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. 7 I will take you to myself for a people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from your enslavement to the Egyptians. 8 I will bring you to the land I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob—and I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord !'" 9 Moses told this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their discouragement and hard labor.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord,.... Eternal in his being, immutable in his counsels, faithful to his covenant, and able to fulfil it;
and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians; which lay heavy on them, and made them sigh and groan:
and I will rid you out of their bondage; in which they were kept, and by which their lives were made bitter:
and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm; with an arm stretched out from heaven to earth, as Aben Ezra expresses it; even by the exertion of his almighty power, openly and manifestly displayed in the lighting down of his arm upon the enemies of his people, and in delivering them out of their hands:
and with great judgments; upon the Egyptians, by many and sore plagues and punishments inflicted on them.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
With a stretched out arm - The figure is common and quite intelligible; it may have struck Moses and the people the more forcibly since they were familiar with the hieroglyphic which represents might by two outstretched arms.
