3
and I appear unto Abraham , unto Isaac , and unto Jacob , as God Almighty ; as to My name Jehovah , I have not been known to them;
4
and also I have established My covenant with them, to give to them the land of Canaan , the land of their sojournings , wherein they have sojourned ;
5
and also I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel , whom the Egyptians are causing to serve, and I remember My covenant.
6
`Therefore say to the sons of Israel , I [am] Jehovah , and I have brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians , and have delivered you from their service , and have redeemed you by a stretched-out arm , and by great judgments ,
7
and have taken you to Me for a people, and I have been to you for God , and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah your God , who is bringing you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians ;
8
and I have brought you in unto the land which I have lifted up My hand to give it to Abraham , to Isaac , and to Jacob , and have given it to you -- a possession; I [am] Jehovah .'
