| # Chapter 6
#### 1 | Yahweh said to Moses, 'Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh, for by a strong hand he shall let them go, and by a strong hand he shall drive them out of his land.'
#### 2 | God spoke to Moses, and said to him, 'I am Yahweh;
#### 3 | and I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Yahweh I was not known to them.
#### 4 | I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their travels, in which they lived as aliens.
#### 5 | Moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.
#### 6 | Therefore tell the children of Israel, 'I am Yahweh, 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 an outstretched 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 you shall know that I am Yahweh your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
#### 8 | I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am Yahweh.''
#### 9 | Moses spoke so to the children of Israel, but they didn't listen to Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
#### 10 | Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying,
#### 11 | 'Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.'
#### 12 | Moses spoke before Yahweh, saying, 'Behold, the children of Israel haven't listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, who am of uncircumcised lips?'
#### 13 | Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
