God
Promises Action |
|
|
 |
| Exodus 6:1 |
|
Then the LORD said to Moses, "Now you shall
see what I will do to Pharaoh; for under compulsion he will let them go, and under
compulsion he will drive them out of his land." |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 6:2 |
|
God spoke further to Moses and said to him,
"I am the LORD; |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 6:3 |
|
and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,
as God Almighty, but by My name, LORD, I did not make Myself known to them. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 6:4 |
|
"I also established My covenant with them, to
give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they sojourned. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 6:5 |
|
"Furthermore I have heard the groaning of the
sons of Israel, because the Egyptians are holding them in bondage, and I have
remembered My covenant. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 6:6 |
|
"Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, 'I am
the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and
I will deliver you from their bondage. I will also redeem you with an outstretched
arm and with great judgments. |
| |
|
|
| Exodus 6:7 |
|
'Then I will take you for My people, and I will
be your God; and you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out
from under the burdens of the Egyptians. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 6:8 |
|
'I will bring you to the land which I swore
to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give it to you for a possession;
I am the LORD.'" |
|
|
|
| Exodus 6:9 |
|
So Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, but
they did not listen to Moses on account of their despondency and cruel bondage. |
|
|
|
| Exodus 6:10 |
|
Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, |
|
|
|
| Exodus 6:11 |
|
"Go, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the sons
of Israel go out of his land." |
|
|
|
| Exodus 6:12 |
|
But Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, "Behold,
the sons of Israel have not listened to me; how then will Pharaoh listen to me,
for I am unskilled in speech?" |
|
|
|
| Exodus 6:13 |
|
Then the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and
gave them a charge to the sons of Israel and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring
the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt. |
| |

|

|

and she bore him Aaron and Moses; and the length of Amram's life was one hundred

of Putiel, and she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers' households
of the Levites according to their families. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 6:26 |
|
It was the same Aaron and Moses to whom the
LORD said, "Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their
hosts." |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 6:27 |
|
They were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king
of Egypt about bringing out the sons of Israel from Egypt; it was the same Moses
and Aaron. |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 6:28 |
|
Now it came about on the day when the LORD spoke
to Moses in the land of Egypt, |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 6:29 |
|
that the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "I am
the LORD; speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak to you." |
|
|
|
|
| Exodus 6:30 |
|
But Moses said before the LORD, "Behold, I am
unskilled in speech; how then will Pharaoh listen to me?" |
