Exodus 6:2-8

2God spoke further to Moses and said to him, “I am 1the Lord;

3and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as 23God Almighty, but by 4My name, 5Lord, I did not make Myself known to them.

4I also established 6My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the 7land in which they sojourned.

5Furthermore I have 8heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, because the Egyptians are holding them in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant.

6Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, ‘9I am the Lord, and 10I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage. I will also 11redeem you with 12an outstretched arm and with great judgments.

7Then I will take you 1314for My people, and 15I will be 16your God; and 17you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

8I will bring you to the land which 18I 19swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and 20I will give it to you for a possession; 21I am the Lord.’”
