Counter-Arguments

The strongest case that this verse does not belong in this theme.

Literal Fulfillment

While the verse speaks of a past historical event (the Exodus), which was literal, the "word that the Lord hath spoken against you" is a prophetic declaration that could be interpreted metaphorically or spiritually in its fulfillment, rather than strictly literally in every detail.

Israel-Specific Promises

The verse is a declaration of judgment against Israel, not a promise or covenant. While it addresses Israel specifically, it speaks of their past deliverance as a prelude to their impending punishment, rather than a reaffirmation of a positive promise.
