Chapter 6
|
1
|
Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what
I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let
them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out
of his land. |
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. |
14

26

These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said,
Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt
according to their armies. |
27
|
These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt,
to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are
that Moses and Aaron. |
28
|
And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto
Moses in the land of Egypt, |
29
|
That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD:
speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto
thee. |
30
|
And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised
lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me? |
