Exodus Chapter 6 (ESV)

KJV ESV NIV NASB NLT
undefined But the LORD said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand he will send them out, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”
undefined God spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am the LORD.
undefined I 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.
undefined I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they lived as sojourners.
undefined Moreover, I have heard the groaning of the people of Israel whom the Egyptians hold as slaves, and I have remembered my covenant.
undefined Say therefore to the people of Israel, ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from slavery to them, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment.
undefined I will take you to be my people, and I will be your God, and you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who has brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
undefined I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you for a possession. I am the LORD.’”
undefined Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery.
undefined So the LORD said to Moses,

undefined But the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge about the people of Israel and about Pharaoh king of Egypt: to bring the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

undefined On the day when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,
undefined the LORD said to Moses, “I am the LORD; tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.”
undefined But Moses said to the LORD, “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips. How will Pharaoh listen to me?”
