Exodus 6:1-13

Exodus 6:1-13

[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.
