mkjv@Exodus:6:5 @ And I have also heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, those whom the Egyptians are keeping in bondage. And I have remembered My covenant.

mkjv@Exodus:6:6 @ Therefore say to the sons of Israel, I [am] Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rescue you out of their bondage. And I will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments.

mkjv@Exodus:6:11 @ Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the sons of Israel go out of his land.

mkjv@Exodus:6:12 @ And Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh hear me, since I have lips that are not circumcised?
