Jubilee2000 - Exodus - 6

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

6:2  And God spoke unto Moses and said unto him, I [am] the LORD;

6:3  and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD (YHWH) I was not known to them.

6:4  And I 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 likewise I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.

6:6  Therefore say unto the sons of Israel, I [am] the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will free you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm and with great judgments.

6:7  And I will take you as my people, and I will be your God: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

6:8  And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning which I raised my hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it [unto] you for a heritage: I [am] the LORD.

6:9  In this manner Moses spoke unto the sons of Israel, but they did not hearken unto Moses because of [their] anguish of spirit and cruel bondage.

6:10  And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying,

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

6:12  And Moses answered before the LORD, saying, Behold, the sons of Israel do not hearken unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, seeing I [am] of uncircumcised lips?

6:13  Then the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto Aaron and gave them a commandment unto the sons of Israel and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

6:14  These [are] the heads of their fathers' families: The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Enoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these [are] the families of Reuben.

6:15  And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Saul the son of a Canaanite woman; these [are] the families of Simeon.

6:16  And these [are] the names of the sons of Levi according to their lineages: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari. And the years of the life of Levi [were] one hundred thirty-seven years.

6:17  The sons of Gershon: Libni, and Shimi, according to their families.

6:18  And the sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel. And the years of the life of Kohath [were] one hundred thirty-three years.

6:19  And the sons of Merari: Mahali and Mushi; these [are] the families of Levi according to their lineages.

6:20  And Amram took Jochebed, his father's sister to wife; and she bore him Aaron and Moses. And the years of the life of Amram [were] one hundred thirty-seven years.

6:21  And the sons of Izhar: Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri.

6:22  And the sons of Uzziel: Mishael, Elzaphan, and Zithri.

6:23  And Aaron took Elizabeth, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bore him Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

6:24  And the sons of Korah: Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these [are] the families of the Korhites.

6:25  And Eleazar, Aaron's son, took [one] of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bore him Phinehas. These [are] the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families.

6:26  These [are] that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their hosts.

6:27  These [are] those who spoke to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt: these [are] that Moses and Aaron.

6:28  And it came to pass on the day [when] the LORD spoke unto Moses in the land of Egypt,

6:29  that the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying, I [am] the LORD; speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.

6:30  And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I [am] of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?:
