Exodus 6:12-30
12But MosesH4872 spokeH1696 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, sayingH559, “BeholdH2005, the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 have not listenedH8085 to me; 1howH349 then will PharaohH6547 listenH8085 to me, as I am 23unskilledH6189 in speechH8193?” 13Nevertheless, the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872 and to AaronH175 and gaveH6680 them a commandH6680 concerningH413 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 and PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, to bringH3318 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714.
14TheseH428 are the headsH7218 of their fathers’H1 householdsH1004. 4The sonsH1121 of ReubenH7205, Israel’sH3478 firstbornH1060: HanochH2585 and PalluH6396, HezronH2696 and CarmiH3756; theseH428 are the familiesH4940 of ReubenH7205. 15And the 5sonsH1121 of SimeonH8095: 6JemuelH3223, JaminH3226, OhadH161, JachinH3199, ZoharH6714, and ShaulH7586 the sonH1121 of a CanaaniteH3669 womanH3669; theseH428 are the familiesH4940 of SimeonH8095. 16And theseH428 are the namesH8034 of 7the sonsH1121 of LeviH3878 according to their generationsH8435: GershonH1648, KohathH6955, and MerariH4847; and the 8lengthH8141 of Levi’sH3878 lifeH2425 was 137H3967H7970H7651 yearsH8141. 179The sonsH1121 of GershonH1648: 10LibniH3845 and ShimeiH8096, according to their familiesH4940. 18And 11the sonsH1121 of KohathH6955: AmramH6019, IzharH3324, HebronH2275, and UzzielH5816; and the 12lengthH8141 of Kohath’sH6955 lifeH2425 was 133H3967H7970H7969 yearsH8141. 19And 13the sonsH1121 of MerariH4847: MahliH4249 and MushiH4187. TheseH428 are the familiesH4940 of the LevitesH3881 according to their generationsH8435. 20Now 14AmramH6019 15marriedH3947H802 his father’sH1733 sisterH1733 JochebedH3115, and she boreH3205 him AaronH175 and MosesH4872; and the 16lengthH8141 of Amram’sH6019 lifeH2425 was 137H3967H7970H7651 yearsH8141. 21And 17the sonsH1121 of IzharH3324: KorahH7141, NephegH5298, and ZichriH2147. 22And 18the sonsH1121 of UzzielH5816: MishaelH4332, 19ElzaphanH469, and SithriH5644. 23AaronH175 20marriedH3947H802 ElishebaH472, the daughterH1323 of 21AmminadabH5992, the sisterH269 of 22NahshonH5177, and she boreH3205 him 23NadabH5070 and AbihuH30, EleazarH499 and IthamarH385. 24And the 24sonsH1121 of KorahH7141: AssirH617, ElkanahH511, and 25AbiasaphH23; theseH428 are the familiesH4940 of the KorahitesH7145. 25Now Aaron’sH175 sonH1121 26EleazarH499 27marriedH3947H802 oneH4480 of the daughtersH1323 of PutielH6317, and she boreH3205 him 28PhinehasH6372. 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, “29BringH3318 outH3318 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 from the landH776 of EgyptH4714 accordingH5921 to their 3031multitudesH6635.” 27They were the ones 32who spokeH1696 to PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 33about bringingH3318 outH3318 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 from EgyptH4714; it was the same MosesH4872 and AaronH175.
28Now it cameH1961 aboutH1961 on the dayH3117 when the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872 in the landH776 of EgyptH4714, 29that the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to MosesH4872, sayingH559, “34I am the LordH3068; 35sayH1696 to PharaohH6547 kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 allH3605 that I sayH1696 to you.” 30But MosesH4872 saidH559 beforeH6440 the LordH3068, “BeholdH2005, I am 3637unskilledH6189 in speechH8193; howH349 then will PharaohH6547 listenH8085 to me?”
