| Chapter 6 |
| 1 | Then the LORD said unto 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 out of his land.
|
| 2 | And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD: |
| 3 |
And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God
Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. |
| 4 | 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. |
| 5 | And I have
also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in
bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. |
|
6 | 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 with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments: |
| 7 | 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, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of
the Egyptians. |
|
8 | And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning
the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will
give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD. |
|
9 | And Moses spake so unto
the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of
spirit, and for cruel bondage. |
| 10 | And the LORD spake unto
Moses, saying, |
|
11 | Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he
let the children of Israel go out of his land. |
| 12 | And Moses
spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not
hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised
lips? |
| 13 |
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. |
| 14 | These be the
heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel;
Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these be the families of Reuben.
|
| 15 | 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. |
| 16
| 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 an hundred thirty and seven years. |
| 17 | The sons of
Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families. |
| 18 | And the sons
of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life
of Kohath were an hundred thirty and three years. |
| 19 | And the sons
of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of Levi according to their
generations. |
|
20 | And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to
wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were
an hundred and thirty and seven years. |
| 21 | And the sons of Izhar; Korah,
and Nepheg, and Zichri. |
| 22 | And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and
Elzaphan, and Zithri. |
| 23 | And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of
Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu,
Eleazar, and Ithamar. |
| 24 | And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah,
and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites. |
| 25 | And Eleazar
Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him
Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their
families. |
| 26
| 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. |
| 27
| These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to
bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and
Aaron. |
| 28
| And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto
Moses in the land of Egypt, |
|
29 | That the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say
unto thee. |
| 30
| And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of
uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me? |
