Exodus 6

God Promises Deliverance

1But the LORD said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh, for because of My mighty hand he will let the people go; because of My strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”

1And YHWH said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for by a mighty hand he will send them out, and by a mighty hand he will drive them out from his land.”

2God also told Moses, “I am the LORD.

2And God spoke to Moses, and He said to him, “I am YHWH,

3I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by My name the LORD I did not make Myself known to them.

3and I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as El-Shaddai; and by My name YHWH I was not known to them.

4I also established My covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as foreigners.

4And also I have established My covenant with them, to give to them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojourning, in which they sojourned.

5Furthermore, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered My covenant.

5And also I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel whom Egypt is making serve, and I have remembered My covenant.

6Therefore tell the Israelites: ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians and deliver you from their bondage. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.

6Therefore say to the sons of Israel, ‘I am YHWH, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of Egypt, and I will deliver you from their service, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.

7I will take you as My own people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

7And I will take you to Me for a people, and I will be to you for God; and you shall know that I am YHWH your God, the One bringing you out from under the burdens of Egypt.

8And I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD!’”

8And I will bring you into the land that I lifted up my hand to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. And I will give it to you as a possession. I am YHWH!’”

9Moses relayed this message to the Israelites, but on account of their broken spirit and cruel bondage, they did not listen to him.

9And Moses spoke in this way to the sons of Israel, and they did not listen to Moses, from shortness of spirit and from hard service.

10So the LORD said to Moses,

10And YHWH spoke to Moses, saying,

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

11“Go in, tell to Pharaoh king of Egypt and he shall send out the sons of Israel from his land.”

12But in the LORD’s presence Moses replied, “If the Israelites will not listen to me, then why would Pharaoh listen to me, since I am unskilled in speech?”

12And Moses spoke before the face of YHWH, saying, “Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me; and how shall Pharaoh listen to me, and I am uncircumcised of lips?”

13Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge concerning both the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.

13And YHWH spoke to Moses and to Aaron and He gave them a command toward the sons of Israel and toward Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt.
