Exodus 6:1-13

1But the LORDH3068 saidH559 toH413 MosesH4872, “NowH6258 you will seeH7200 whatH834 I will doH6213 to PharaohH6547, forH3588 because of My mightyH2389 handH3027 he will let the people goH7971; because of My strongH2389 handH3027 he will drive them out ofH1644 his landH776.”

2God alsoH430 toldH1696H413 MosesH4872, “IH589 am the LORDH3068. 3I appearedH7200 toH413 AbrahamH85, toH413 IsaacH3327, and toH413 JacobH3290 as GodH410 AlmightyH7706,1 but by My nameH8034 the LORDH3068 I did notH3808 make Myself knownH3045 to them. 4I alsoH1571 establishedH6965 My covenantH1285 with themH854 to giveH5414 them the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the landH776H4033 whereH834 they lived as foreignersH1481. 5FurthermoreH1571, IH589 have heardH8085 the groaningH5009 of the IsraelitesH1121H3478, whomH834 the EgyptiansH4714 are enslavingH5647, and I have rememberedH2142 My covenantH1285.

6ThereforeH3651 tellH559 the IsraelitesH1121H3478: ‘IH589 am the LORDH3068, and I will bringH3318 youH853 out from underH8478 the yokeH5450 of the EgyptiansH4714 and deliverH5337 youH853 from their bondageH5656. I will redeemH1350 youH853 with an outstretchedH5186 armH2220 and with mightyH1419 acts of judgmentH8201. 7I will takeH3947 youH853 as My own peopleH5971, and I will beH1961 your GodH430. Then you will knowH3045 thatH3588 IH589 am the LORDH3068 your GodH430, who broughtH3318 youH853 out from underH8478 the yokeH5450 of the EgyptiansH4714. 8And I will bringH935 youH853 intoH413 the landH776 thatH834 I sworeH5375 to giveH5414 to AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290. I will giveH5414 itH853 to you as a possessionH4181. IH589 am the LORDH3068!’”

9MosesH4872 relayedH1696 thisH3651 message toH413 the IsraelitesH1121H3478, but on account of their brokenH7115 spiritH7307 and cruelH7186 bondageH5656, they did notH3808 listenH8085 toH413 him.

10So the LORDH3068 saidH1696 toH413 MosesH4872H559, 11“GoH935 and tellH1696H413 PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 to let the IsraelitesH1121H3478 go outH7971 of his landH776.”

12But in the LORD’sH3068H559 presenceH6440 MosesH4872 repliedH1696, “IfH2005 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 will notH3808 listenH8085 to meH413, then whyH349 would PharaohH6547 listen to meH8085, since IH589 am unskilledH6189 in speechH8193?2”

13Then the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 toH413 MosesH4872 and AaronH175 and gave them a chargeH6680H413 concerningH413 both the IsraelitesH1121H3478H413 and PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, to bringH3318 the IsraelitesH1121H3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
