And the Lord said to Moses, Now thou shalt see what I will do to Pharao; for he shall send them forth with a mighty hand, and with a high arm shall he cast them out of his land. ²And God spoke to Moses and said to him I am the lord. ³And I appeared to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, being their God, but I did not manifest to them my name ¹Lord. ⁴And I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of the Chananites, the land wherein they sojourned, in which also they dwelt as strangers. ⁵And I hearkened to the groaning of the children of Israel (the affliction with which the Egyptians enslave them) and I remembered the covenant with you. ^{2 6}Go, speak to the children of Israel, saying, I am the Lord; and I will lead you forth from the tyranny of the Egyptians and I will deliver you from bondage, and I will ransom you with a high arm, and great iudgment. ⁷ And I will take you to me a people for myself, and will be your God; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the tyranny of the Egyptians. And I will bring you into the land concerning which I stretched out my hand to give it to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, and I will give it you for an inheritance: I am the Lord. ⁹And Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, and they hearkened not to Moses for faint-heartedness, and for their hard tasks. ¹⁰And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, ¹¹Go in, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he send forth the children of Israel out of his land. ¹² And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel hearkened not to me, and how shall Pharao hearken to me? and I am not eloquent. ¹³And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a charge to Pharao king of Egypt, that he should send forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
