- ¶ THEN the LORD said to Moses, Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh;
for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and by a mighty arm shall he drive them out of his land.
- 2
- And God spoke to Moses and said to him, I am the LORD,
- 3
- Who appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of God Almighty;
but my name the LORD I did not make 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 dwelt.
- 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 your God, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage, and I will save you by a strong hand and by a mighty 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 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 concerning which I swore to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob;
and I will give it to you for an inheritance; I am the LORD.
- 9
- And Moses spoke so to the children of Israel;
but they did not listen to him, because of their misery and because of bondage.
- 10
- ¶ And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
- 11
- Go in, and speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
- 12
- But Moses said to the LORD, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened to me;
how then shall Pharaoh listen to me, for I am a stutterer?
- 13
- And the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron and gave them a charge to the children of Israel and to Pharaoh king of Egypt to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

- 28

speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.
- 30

how shall Pharaoh hearken to me?
