1 | Then the Lord said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to
Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand
shall he drive them out of his land.
|
2 | And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord:
|
3 | And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of
God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not 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 were strangers.
|
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 | Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will
bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out
of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out 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 ye
shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the
burdens of the Egyptians.
|
8 | And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to
give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an
heritage: I am the Lord.
|
9 | And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto
Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
|
10 | And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
|
11 | Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of
Israel go out of his land.
|
12 | And Moses spake before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel
have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of
uncircumcised lips?
|
13 | And 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.

were an hundred thirty and seven years.
|
17 | The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families.

24 | And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the

|
25 | And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife;
and she bare him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites
according to their families.
|
26 | These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the Lord said, Bring out the
children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.
|
27 | These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the
children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.
|
28 | And it came to pass on the day when the Lord spake unto Moses in the
land of Egypt,
|
29 | That the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, I am the Lord: speak thou unto
Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
|
30 | And Moses said before the Lord, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and
how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
