Exodus 6 ©
God promises to deliver them, and encourages Moses by repeating His Name unto him, and the covenant made with the fathers, vs. 1, etc. He promises again to deliver His people, 7. But they will not hearken unto Moses, 9. God sends Moses again to Pharaoh, but is unwilling to go, 10. The genealogy of Reuben, 14. Of Simeon, 15. Of Levi, 16. And of his children down to Aaron and Moses, 17. And some others, 20. Aaron’s marriage and children, 22. And children’s children, 23. The sending of Moses and Aaron to Pharaoh is related again, 25. Together with the unwillingness of Moses, 29.
THEN the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: 1for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am 2the LORD:
And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of 3God 4Almighty, but 5by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
And I have also heard 6the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in 7bondage; and I 8have remembered my covenant.
Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you 9with a stretched out arm, and 10with great judgments:
And I will take you to me 11for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall 12know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did 13swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: 14I am the LORD.
¶And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for 15anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, 16who am of uncircumciseda lips?
And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, Ikam of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
