Chapter 6

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

--

  And God spoke to Moses, and said to him, I am the LORD:  

--

  And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by 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, in which they were strangers.  

--

  And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage: and I have remembered my covenant.  

--

  Wherefore say to the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with out-stretched arm, and with great judgments:  

--

  And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.  

--

  And I will bring you into the land, concerning which I swore to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am the LORD.  

--

  And Moses spoke so to the children of Israel: but they hearkened not to Moses, by reason of anguish of spirit, and cruel bondage.  

--

  And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,  

--

  Go in, speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel depart from his land.  

--

  And Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened to me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?  

--

  And the LORD spoke to Moses, and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.  

--

  These are the heads of their father's houses: The sons of Reuben the first-born of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these are the families of Reuben.  

--

  And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon.  

--

  And these are the names of the sons of Levi, according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari. And the years of the life of Levi were a hundred and thirty-seven years.  

--

  The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families.  

--

  And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath were a hundred and thirty-three years.  

--

  And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of Levi, according to their generations.  

--

  And Amram took him Jochebed, his father's sister, for a wife; and she bore him Aaron and Moses. And the years of the life of Amram were a hundred and thirty-seven years.  

--

  And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.  

--

  And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.  

--

  And Aaron took him Elisheba daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, for a wife; and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.  

--

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

--

  And Eleazar, Aaron's son, took him one of the daughters of Putiel for a wife; and she bore to him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites, according to their families.  

--

  These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.  

--

  These are they who spoke to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.  

--

  And it came to pass, on the day when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,  

--

  That the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, all that I say to thee.  

--

  And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken to me?
