Exodus 6 (NET) New English Translation

1 Then the LORD said to Moses, "Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh, for compelled by my strong hand he will release them, and by my strong hand he will drive them out of his land."
2 God spoke to Moses and said to him, "I am the LORD.
3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name 'the LORD' I was not known to them.
4 I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, where they were living as resident foreigners.
5 I have also heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant.
6 Therefore, tell the Israelites, 'I am the LORD. I will bring you out from your enslavement to the Egyptians, I will rescue you from the hard labor they impose, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.
7 I will take you to myself for a people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from your enslavement to the Egyptians.
8 I will bring you to the land I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob— and I will give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD!'"
9 Moses told this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their discouragement and hard labor.
10 Then the LORD said to Moses,
11 "Go, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt that he must release the Israelites from his land."
12 But Moses replied to the LORD, "If the Israelites did not listen to me, then how will Pharaoh listen to me, since I speak with difficulty?"
13 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge for the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.
