Exodus 6:2-30

2GodH430 spokeH1696 further to MosesH4872 and saidH559 to him, “I am 1the LordH3068; 3and I appearedH7200 to AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290, as 23GodH410 AlmightyH7706, but by 4My nameH8034, 5LordH3068, I did not makeH3045 Myself knownH3045 to them. 4I alsoH1571 establishedH6965 6My covenantH1285 with them, to giveH5414 them the landH776 of CanaanH3667, the 7landH776 in whichH834 they sojournedH1481. 5FurthermoreH1571 I have 8heardH8085 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, ‘9I am the LordH3068, and 10I will bringH3318 you out from underH8478 the burdensH5450 of the EgyptiansH4714, and I will deliverH5337 you from their bondageH5656. I will also 11redeemH1350 you with 12an outstretchedH5186 armH2220 and with greatH1419 judgmentsH8201. 7Then I will takeH3947 you 1314for My peopleH5971, and 15I will be 16your GodH430; and 17you 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 18I 19sworeH5375H3027 to giveH5414 to AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290, and 20I will giveH5414 it to you for a possessionH4181; 21I am the LordH3068.’” 9So MosesH4872 spokeH1696 thusH3651 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, but they did not listenH8085 to MosesH4872 on 22accountH4480 of their 23despondencyH7115H7307 and cruelH7186 bondageH5656.

10Now the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, 11“24GoH935, 25tellH1696 PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 26to 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; 27howH349 then will PharaohH6547 listenH8085 to me, for I am 2829unskilledH6189 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.

14TheseH428 are the headsH7218 of their fathers’H1 householdsH1004. 30The sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205, Israel’sH3478 firstbornH1060: HanochH2585 and PalluH6396, HezronH2696 and CarmiH3756; theseH428 are the familiesH4940 of ReubenH7205. 15The 31sonsH1121 of SimeonH8095: JemuelH3223 and JaminH3226 and OhadH161 and JachinH3199 and ZoharH6714 and ShaulH7586 the sonH1121 of a CanaaniteH3669 womanH3669; theseH428 are the familiesH4940 of SimeonH8095. 16TheseH428 are the namesH8034 of 32the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 according to their generationsH8435: GershonH1648 and KohathH6955 and MerariH4847; and the 33lengthH8141 of Levi’sH3878 lifeH2425 was one hundredH3967 and thirty-sevenH7970H7651 yearsH8141. 1734The sonsH1121 of GershonH1648: 35LibniH3845 and ShimeiH8096, according to their familiesH4940. 1836The sonsH1121 of KohathH6955: AmramH6019 and IzharH3324 and HebronH2275 and UzzielH5816; and the 37lengthH8141 of Kohath’sH6955 lifeH2425 was one hundredH3967 and thirty-threeH7970H7969 yearsH8141. 1938The sonsH1121 of MerariH4847: MahliH4249 and MushiH4187. TheseH428 are the familiesH4940 of the LevitesH3881 according to their generationsH8435. 2039AmramH6019 40marriedH3947H802 his father’sH1733 sisterH1733 JochebedH3115, and she boreH3205 him AaronH175 and MosesH4872; and the 41lengthH8141 of Amram’sH6019 lifeH2425 was one hundredH3967 and thirty-sevenH7970H7651 yearsH8141. 2142The sonsH1121 of IzharH3324: KorahH7141 and NephegH5298 and ZichriH2147. 2243The sonsH1121 of UzzielH5816: MishaelH4332 and 44ElzaphanH469 and SithriH5644. 23AaronH175 45marriedH3947H802 ElishebaH472, the daughterH1323 of 46AmminadabH5992, the sisterH269 of 47NahshonH5177, and she boreH3205 him 48NadabH5070 and AbihuH30, EleazarH499 and IthamarH385. 24The 49sonsH1121 of KorahH7141: AssirH617 and ElkanahH511 and 50AbiasaphH23; theseH428 are the familiesH4940 of the KorahitesH7145. 25Aaron’sH175 sonH1121 51EleazarH499 52marriedH3947H802 oneH4480 of the daughtersH1323 of PutielH6317, and she boreH3205 him 53PhinehasH6372. TheseH428 are the headsH7218 of the fathers’H1 households of the LevitesH3881 according to their familiesH4940. 26It was the same AaronH175 and MosesH4872 to whomH834 the LordH3068 saidH559, “54BringH3318 out the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 accordingH5921 to their 55hostsH6635.” 27They were the ones 56who spokeH1696 to PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 57about bringingH3318 out the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 from EgyptH4714; it was the same MosesH4872 and AaronH175.

28Now it cameH1961 about on the dayH3117 when the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, 29that the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, “58I am the LordH3068; 59speakH1696 to PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 allH3605 that I speakH1696 to you.” 30But MosesH4872 saidH559 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, “BeholdH2005, I am 6061unskilledH6189 in speechH8193; howH349 then will PharaohH6547 listenH8085 to me?”
