1 A nd Jehovah said to Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh; for by a strong hand shall he let them go, and by a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.

Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh. For he will be made to let them go because of My strong hand. By My strong hand, he will make them go out of his land.” God Calls Moses

2 A nd God spoke to Moses, and said to him, I am Jehovah.

God said to Moses, “I am the Lord.

3 A nd I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as the Almighty God; but by my name Jehovah I was not made known to them.

I showed Myself as God All-powerful to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. But I did not make Myself known to them by My name, the Lord.

4 A nd I established also my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were sojourners.

I also made My agreement with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they were strangers.

5 A nd I have heard also the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians have forced to serve, and I have remembered my covenant.

I have heard the crying of the people of Israel, because they are being held by the Egyptians. And I have remembered My agreement.

6 T herefore say unto the children of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their service, and I will redeem you with a stretched-out arm, and with great judgments.

So say to the people of Israel, ‘I am the Lord. I will take you away from the hard work and suffering in Egypt. I will take you away from being their servants. I will make you free by the strength of My arm and by the great things I will do to punish the guilty.

7 A nd I will take you to me for a people, and will be your God; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah your God, am he who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

Then I will take you for My people, and I will be your God. And you will know that I am the Lord your God. I will bring you out from under the heavy loads of the Egyptians.

8 A nd I will bring you into the land concerning which I swore to give it unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; and I will give it you for a possession: I am Jehovah.

I will bring you to the land I promised to give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. I will give it to you for your own. I am the Lord.’”

9 A nd Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel; but they did not listen to Moses from anguish of spirit, and from hard service.

So Moses said this to the people of Israel. But they did not listen to Moses because of their broken spirit and how hard they were made to work.

10 A nd Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,

Then the Lord said to Moses,

11 G o in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

“Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the people of Israel go out of his land.”

12 A nd Moses spoke before Jehovah, saying, Lo, the children of Israel do not hearken to me: how then should Pharaoh hearken to me, to me of uncircumcised lips?

But Moses said to the Lord, “See, the people of Israel have not listened to me. How then will Pharaoh listen to me? I am not able to speak well.”

13 A nd Jehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a commandment to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
