1
Then the LORD said to 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 from his land .
2
And God spoke to Moses , and said to him, I am the LORD :
3
And I appeared to Abraham , to Isaac , and to 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 , in which 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 to the children of Israel , I am the LORD , and I will bring you from under the burdens of the Egyptians , and I will deliver you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with out-stretched 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 , who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians .
8
And I will bring you into the land , concerning which I swore to give it to Abraham , to Isaac , and to Jacob ; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am the LORD .
9
And Moses spoke so to the children of Israel : but they hearkened not to Moses , by reason of anguish of spirit, and cruel bondage.
10
And the LORD spoke to Moses , saying,
11
Go in, speak to Pharaoh , king of Egypt , that he let the children of Israel depart from his land .
12
And Moses spoke before the LORD , saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened to me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips ?
13
And the LORD spoke to Moses , and to Aaron , and gave them a charge to the children of Israel , and to Pharaoh , king of Egypt , to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt .

28

29
That the LORD spoke to Moses , saying, I am the LORD : speak thou to Pharaoh , king of Egypt , all that I say to thee.
30
And Moses said before the LORD , Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips , and how shall Pharaoh hearken to me?
