Exodus:6
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then said the Lord unto Moses ,
Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh ;
for with a strong hand shall he send them away ,
and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land .
*
And God spoke unto Moses ,
and said unto him ,
I am the Lord :
*
And I appeared unto Abraham ,
unto Isaac ,
and unto Jacob ,
by the name of God ,
the Almighty ,
but by my name The Eternal was I not made known to them .
*
And as I did also establish my covenant with them ,
to give unto them the land of Canaan ,
the land of their pilgrimage ,
wherein they sojourned :
*
So have I also heard the groaning of the children of Israel ,
whom the Egyptians compel to labor ;
and I have remembered my covenant .
*
Therefore say unto the children of Israel ,
I am the Eternal ,
and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians ,
and I will release you from their bondage ,
and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm ,
and with great judgments :
*
And I will take you to me for a people ,
and I will be to you for a God ;
and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God ,
who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians .
*
And I will bring you in unto the land ,
concerning which I did lift up my hand to give it to Abraham ,
to Isaac ,
and to Jacob ;
and I will give it you for a heritage :
I am the Lord .
*
And Moses spoke thus unto the children of Israel ;
but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit ,
and for cruel bondage .
*
And the Lord spoke unto Moses ,
saying ,
*
Go in ,
speak unto Pharaoh the king of Egypt ,
that he shall let the children of Israel go out of his land .
*
And Moses spoke before the Lord ,
saying ,
Behold ,
the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me :
how then shall Pharaoh hear me ,
whereas I am of uncircumcised lips ?
*
And the Lord spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron ,
and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel ,
and unto Pharaoh ,
the king of Egypt ,
to bring forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt .
