The phrase “and it came to pass” is used frequently in scripture, especially in traditional translations of the Bible. Sometimes it describes a time when the oppressors of God’s people had wrought enough harm. We see it when the Israelites come out of Egypt after 400 years. What had begun as a refuge for God’s people during a time of famine had become bondage for an entire nation. Finally God said it was enough and sent Moses to take them out of there. It indicated a time when things were about to change.
