Exodus 6

2. And God spake * unto Moses, and said * unto him, I am the LORD:
3. And I appeared * unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known * to them.
4. And I have also established * my covenant with them, to give * them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage,wherein they were strangers * .
5. And I have also heard * the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage * ; and I have remembered * my covenant.
6. Wherefore say * unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring * you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid * you out of their bondage, and I will redeem * you with a stretched * out arm, and with great judgments:
7. And I will take * you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know * that I am the LORD your God,which bringeth * you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
8. And I will bring * you in unto the land,concerning the which I did swear * to give * it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give * it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.
9. And Moses spake * so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened * not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
10. And the LORD spake * unto Moses, saying * ,
11. Go * in, speak * unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out * of his land.
12. And Moses spake * before the LORD, saying * , Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened * unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear * me, who am of uncircumcised lips?
13. And the LORD spake * unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge * unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring * the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
