| 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

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. |

the years of the life of Kohath were an hundred thirty and three years. |

years. |
| 21 | And the sons
of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri. |
| 22 | And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and

| 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? |
