King James Version

1 And the LORD said to Moses, "Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand he will send them out, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land." 2 And God spoke to Moses and said to him, "I am the Lord." 3 And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name the LORD I did not make myself known to them. 4 And I have also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings, in which they sojourned. 5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I remember my covenant. 6 Therefore say to the children of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of Egypt and I will rescue you from your servitude, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. 7 And 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 Egypt. 8 And I brought you to the land which I raised my hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, and I gave it to you as a heritage; I am the Lord. 9 And Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses because of shortness of spirit and hard work. 10 And the LORD spoke to Moses, saying. 11 Go speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he may let the children of Israel go from his land. 12 And Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, "Behold, the children of Israel have not listened to me; how then shall Pharaoh listen to me, for I am of uncircumcised lips?" 13 And the Lord spoke to Moses and to Aaron and commanded them to the children of Israel and to Pharaoh king of Egypt to bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt. 14 These are the heads of the houses of their fathers: the sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi.
