אלה מסעי…אשר יצאו מארץ מצרים…ביד משה ואהרן…(מסעי לג:א)

These are the journeys of the Yidden, who went forth from the land of Egypt…under the hand of Moshe and Aharon…

גאולת מצרים – the redemption from Mitzrayim was through the hands of Moshe and Aharon. Therefore, it wasn’t an eternal redemption.  But the גאולה העתידה – the future redemption will be through Hashem Himself and will be an eternal redemption. “אלה מסעי בני ישראל” – the Yidden will still have to go through a few exiles, “אשר יצאו מארץ מצרים…ביד משה ואהרן” because they went out of Mitzrayim through Moshe and Aharon. It would have been an eternal redemption if they had been redeemed from Mitzrayim through Hashem.
