2 God spoke to Moses and said to him,g[Isa. 42:8; Mal. 3:6] “I am the Lord. 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, ashGen. 17:1 God Almighty, but by my name theiPs. 68:4; 83:18; [John 8:58; Rev. 1:4, 8] Lord I did not make myself known to them. 4 jGen. 15:18; 17:4, 7 I also established my covenant with themkGen. 17:8; 28:4 to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they lived as sojourners. 5 Moreover,lch. 2:24 I have heard the groaning of the people of Israel whom the Egyptians hold as slaves, and I have remembered my covenant. 6 Say therefore to the people of Israel,m[Isa. 42:8; Mal. 3:6] ‘I am the Lord, andnch. 7:4; Deut. 26:8; Ps. 136:11, 12; [ch. 3:17] I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from slavery to them, andoch. 15:13; Deut. 7:8; 2 Kgs. 17:36; 1 Chr. 17:21; Neh. 1:10 I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment. 7 IpDeut. 4:20; 7:6; 14:2; 26:18; 2 Sam. 7:24; [1 Pet. 2:9] will take you to be my people, andqch. 29:45, 46; Gen. 17:8; Lev. 22:33; Deut. 29:13; [Rev. 21:7] I will be your God, and you shall know thatm[See ver. 6 above] I am the Lord your God, who has brought you outn[See ver. 6 above] from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 I will bring you intorch. 32:13; Gen. 15:18; 26:3; 28:13; 35:12; Ezek. 20:6, 42 the land that Is[Gen. 14:22; Deut. 32:40; Ezek. 20:5, 6; 47:14] swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, foruver. 30; ch. 4:10; Jer. 1:6; [Jer. 6:10; Ezek. 44:7] I am of uncircumcised lips? ” 13 But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge about the people of Israel and about Pharaoh king of Egypt: to bring the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
