Exodus 6:12-30

12But Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, “Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me; 1how then will Pharaoh listen to me, as I am 23unskilled in speech?” 13Nevertheless, the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron and gave them a command concerning the sons of Israel and Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

14These are the heads of their fathers’ households. 4The sons of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn: Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben. 15And the 5sons of Simeon: 6Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the families of Simeon. 16And these are the names of 7the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari; and the 8length of Levi’s life was 137 years. 179The sons of Gershon: 10Libni and Shimei, according to their families. 18And 11the sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel; and the 12length of Kohath’s life was 133 years. 19And 13the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their generations. 20Now 14Amram 15married his father’s sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses; and the 16length of Amram’s life was 137 years. 21And 17the sons of Izhar: Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri. 22And 18the sons of Uzziel: Mishael, 19Elzaphan, and Sithri. 23Aaron 20married Elisheba, the daughter of 21Amminadab, the sister of 22Nahshon, and she bore him 23Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 24And the 24sons of Korah: Assir, Elkanah, and 25Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites. 25Now Aaron’s son 26Eleazar 27married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him 28Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers’ households of the Levites according to their families. 26It was the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, “29Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their 3031multitudes.” 27They were the ones 32who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt 33about bringing out the sons of Israel from Egypt; it was the same Moses and Aaron.

28Now it came about on the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29that the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, “34I am the Lord; 35say to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.” 30But Moses said before the Lord, “Behold, I am 3637unskilled in speech; how then will Pharaoh listen to me?”
