Exodus 6:1-13

1Then the LordH3068 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “NowH6258 you shall seeH7200 whatH834 I will doH6213 to PharaohH6547; for 12under compulsionH2389H3027 he will letH7971 them goH7971, and 3under compulsionH2389H3027 he will driveH1644 them out of his landH776.”

2GodH430 spokeH1696 further to MosesH4872 and saidH559 to him, “I am 4the LordH3068; 3and I appearedH7200 to AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290, as 56GodH410 AlmightyH7706, but by 7My nameH8034, 8LordH3068, I did not makeH3045 Myself knownH3045 to them. 4I alsoH1571 establishedH6965 9My covenantH1285 with them, to giveH5414 them the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the 10landH776 in whichH834 they sojournedH1481. 5FurthermoreH1571 I have 11heardH8085 the groaningH5009 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, becauseH834 the EgyptiansH4714 are holdingH5647 them in bondageH5647, and I have rememberedH2142 My covenantH1285. 6SayH559, thereforeH3651, to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, ‘12I am the LordH3068, and 13I will bringH3318 you out from underH8478 the burdensH5450 of the EgyptiansH4714, and I will deliverH5337 you from their bondageH5656. I will also 14redeemH1350 you with 15an outstretchedH5186 armH2220 and with greatH1419 judgmentsH8201. 7Then I will takeH3947 you 1617for My peopleH5971, and 18I will be 19your GodH430; and 20you shall knowH3045 that I am the LordH3068 your GodH430, who broughtH3318 you out from underH8478 the burdensH5450 of the EgyptiansH4714. 8I will bringH935 you to the landH776 whichH834 21I 22sworeH5375H3027 to giveH5414 to AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290, and 23I will giveH5414 it to you for a possessionH4181; 24I am the LordH3068.’” 9So MosesH4872 spokeH1696 thusH3651 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, but they did not listenH8085 to MosesH4872 on 25accountH4480 of their 26despondencyH7115H7307 and cruelH7186 bondageH5656.

10Now the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 11“27GoH935, 28tellH1696 PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 29to letH7971 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 goH7971 out of his landH776.” 12But MosesH4872 spokeH1696 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, sayingH559, “BeholdH2005, the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 have not listenedH8085 to me; 30howH349 then will PharaohH6547 listenH8085 to me, for I am 3132unskilledH6189 in speechH8193?” 13Then the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872 and to AaronH175, and gaveH6680 them a chargeH6680 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and to PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, to bringH3318 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
