God Renews His Promise to Israel
|
|
|
|
##### Chapter 6
|
|
###### 1 Then the Lord said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land."
|
|
|
|
###### 2 And God spoke to Moses and said to him: "I _am_ the Lord.
|
|
###### 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty, but _by_ My name Lord I was not known to them.
|
|
###### 4 I have also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which 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 Therefore say to the children of Israel: 'I _am_ the Lord; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.
|
|
###### 7 I will take you as My people, and I will be your God. Then you shall know that I _am_ the Lord your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
|
|
###### 8 And I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you _as_ a heritage: I _am_ the Lord.' "
|
|
###### 9 So Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel; but they did not heed Moses, because of anguish of spirit and cruel bondage.
|
|
|
|
###### 10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,
|
|
###### 11 "Go in, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the children of Israel go out of his land."
|
|
|
|
###### 12 And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, "The children of Israel have not heeded me. How then shall Pharaoh heed me, for I _am_ of uncircumcised lips?"
|
|
|
|
###### 13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a command for the children of Israel and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.The Family of Moses and Aaron
