Exodus 6

American Standard Version

1And Jehovah saidH559 unto MosesH4872, NowH6258 shalt thou seeH7200 what I will do to PharaohH6547: for by a strongH2389 handH3027 shall he let them goH7971, and by a strongH2389 handH3027 shall he driveH1644 them out of his landH776.

2And GodH430 spake unto MosesH4872, and saidH559 unto him, I am Jehovah: 3and I appearedH7200 unto AbrahamH85, unto IsaacH3327, and unto JacobH3290, as GodH410 AlmightyH7706; but by my nameH8034 Jehovah I was not knownH3045 to them. 4And I have alsoH1571 establishedH6965 my covenantH1285 with them, to giveH5414 them the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the landH776 of their sojourningsH4033, wherein they sojourned. 5And moreover I have heardH8085 the groaningH5009 of the children of IsraelH3478, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have rememberedH2142 my covenantH1285. 6Wherefore sayH559 unto the children of IsraelH3478, I am Jehovah, and I will bringH3318 you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeemH1350 you with an outstretchedH5186 armH2220, and with greatH1419 judgmentsH8201: 7and I will takeH3947 you to me for a peopleH5971, and I will beH1961 to you a GodH430; and ye shall knowH3045 that I am Jehovah your GodH430, who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8And I will bringH935 you in unto the landH776 which I sware to giveH5414 to AbrahamH85, to IsaacH3327, and to JacobH3290; and I will giveH5414 it you for a heritage: I am Jehovah. 9And MosesH4872 spake soH3651 unto the children of IsraelH3478: but they hearkened not unto MosesH4872 for anguish of spiritH7307, and for cruel bondage.

10And Jehovah spake unto MosesH4872, sayingH559, 11GoH935 in, speakH1696 unto PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, that he let the children of IsraelH3478 goH935 out of his landH776. 12And MosesH4872 spake before Jehovah, sayingH559, Behold, the children of IsraelH3478 have not hearkened unto me; howH349 then shall PharaohH6547 hearH8085 me, who am of uncircumcisedH6189 lipsH8193? 13And Jehovah spake unto MosesH4872 and unto AaronH175, and gave them a charge unto the children of IsraelH3478, and unto PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, to bringH3318 the children of IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
