In the Book of Eilat HaShachar (Exodus 14:25), it is brought in the name of Maran HaGra"z that the interpretation of the phrase "and He took His people Israel out from among them to eternal freedom" is that there were still forms of servitude after the Exodus from Egypt. It is explained that the servitude was on an individual level, but the entire nation of Israel was not enslaved as slaves after the Exodus from Egypt. This aligns with the idea that the entire nation of Israel went out to freedom in essence.

Similarly, it is precise in the language of the book Seder HaYom (referring to the recitation of Shema and unity): "Through learning Torah and fulfilling the commandments, we merit to be redeemed." This is also written in the book Or HaTzafon (Part A, Servitude and Freedom): "And this is the aspect of the Exodus from Egypt, that our forefathers ascended and emerged from the aspect of spiritual servitude, as mentioned, and reached the level of free individuals in the higher concepts of the completeness of faith and recognition of the Almighty, and were called redeemed."
