1Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh: indeed, by a mighty hand he will let them go; by a mighty hand he will drive them out of his land.”[#Ex 3.19, 20; 7.4, 5; 12.31, 33, 39]
2God also spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am the Lord .
3I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name ‘The Lord ’ I did not make myself known to them.[#Ps 68.4; 83.18; Isa 52.6; Jer 16.21; Ezek 37.6, 13; #6.3 Traditional rendering of Heb El Shaddai; #6.3 Heb ; see note at 3.15]
4I also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they resided as aliens.[#Gen 15.18; 28.4]
5I have also heard the groaning of the Israelites whom the Egyptians have enslaved, and I have remembered my covenant.[#Ex 2.24]
6Say therefore to the Israelites: I am the Lord , and I will free you from the burdens of the Egyptians and deliver you from slavery to them. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment.[#Deut 26.8]
7I will take you as my people, and I will be your God. You shall know that I am the Lord your God, who has freed you from the burdens of the Egyptians.[#Ex 16.12; Deut 4.20; 26.8; Ps 81.6; Isa 41.20]
8I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; I will give it to you for a possession. I am the Lord .”[#Gen 15.18]
9Moses told this to the Israelites, but they would not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and their cruel slavery.
10Then the Lord spoke to Moses,
11“Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites go out of his land.”
12But Moses spoke to the Lord , “The Israelites have not listened to me; why should Pharaoh listen to me, poor speaker that I am?”[#6.12 Heb me? I am uncircumcised of lips]
13Thus the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them orders regarding the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, to free the Israelites from the land of Egypt.
