Exodus 6

6Then the Lord said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for ^awith a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand ^bshall he drive them out of his land. ²And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am ^||the Lord: ³And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of ^cGod Almighty, but by my name ^dJEHOVAH was I not known to them. ^4eAnd I have also established my covenant with them, ^fto give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. ⁵And ^gI have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. ⁶Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, ^hI am the Lord, and ⁱI will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will ^kredeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments: ⁷And I will ^ltake you to me for a people, and ^mI will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out ⁿfrom under the burdens of the Egyptians. ⁸And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did ^†oswear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the Lord. ⁹And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: ^pbut they hearkened not unto Moses for ^†anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

¹⁰And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ¹¹Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. ¹²And Moses spake before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have ^qnot hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, ^rwho am of uncircumcised lips? ¹³And 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.

²⁸And it came to pass on the day when the Lord spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt, ²⁹That the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, ⁿI am the Lord: ^ospeak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee. ³⁰And Moses said before the Lord, Behold, ^pI am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
