Exodus 6:1–8

6Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For ^awith a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand ^bhe will drive them out of his land.”

²And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am ¹the Lord. ^3cI appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as ^dGod Almighty, but by My name ^eLord ²I was not known to them. ^4fI have also ³established My covenant with them, ^gto give them the land of Canaan, the land of their ⁴pilgrimage, ^hin which they were ⁵strangers. ⁵And ⁱI have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant. ⁶Therefore say to the children of Israel: ^j‘I am the Lord; ^kI will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will ^lrescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with ⁶an outstretched arm and with great judgments. ⁷I will ^mtake you as My people, and ⁿI will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brings you out ^ofrom under the burdens of the Egyptians. ⁸And I will bring you into the land which I ^pswore ⁷to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the Lord.’ ”
