Exodus 6:1-13
1Yahweh said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh, for by a strong hand he shall let them go, and by a strong hand he shall drive them out of his land."
2God spoke to Moses, and said to him, "I am Yahweh;
3and I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Yahweh I was not known to them.
4I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their travels, in which they lived as aliens.
5Moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.
6Therefore tell the children of Israel, `I am Yahweh, 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 an outstretched arm, and with great judgments:
7and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
8I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am Yahweh.`"
9Moses spoke so to the children of Israel, but they didn`t listen to Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
10Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
11"Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land."
12Moses spoke before Yahweh, saying, "Behold, the children of Israel haven`t listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, who am of uncircumcised lips?"
13Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
