AFV2020 - Exodus - 6

6:1  And the LORD said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand he shall let them go, and with a strong hand he shall drive them out of his land."

6:2  And God spoke to Moses, and said to him, "I am the LORD.

6:3  And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty. But I was not known to them by My name JEHOVAH.

6:4  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.

6:5  And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, those whom the Egyptians are keeping in bondage. And I have remembered My covenant.

6:6  Therefore say to the children of Israel, 'I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rescue you out of their bondage. And I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments.

6:7  And I will take you to Me for a people, and I will be to you a God. And you shall know that I am the LORD your God, Who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

6:8  And I will bring you into the land concerning which I did swear to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. And I will give it to you for a heritage. I am the LORD!' ”

6:11  "Go in, speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land."
