Exodus 06
1 Yahweh 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.”
2 God spoke to Moses, and said to him, “I
am Yahweh.
3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to
Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name
Yahweh 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 travels, in which
they lived as aliens.
5 Moreover I have heard the groaning of
the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians
keep in bondage, and I have remembered
my covenant.
6 Therefore 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.
7 I will take you to myself for a people. I
will be your God; and you shall know that I
am Yahweh your God, who brings you out
from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
8 I 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.’ ”
9 Moses spoke so to the children ofIsrael,
but they didn’t listen to Moses for anguish
of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
10 Yahweh 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.”

“Behold, the children of Israel haven’t listened to me.
How thenshall Pharaohlisten
to me, when I have uncircumcised lips?”

and gave them a command to the children
of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to
bring the children of Israel out of the land
of Egypt.
