Exodus 6

God Promises to Deliver Israel

6The Lord said to Moses, "Now you will see what I'll do to Pharaoh. Indeed, he'll send them out under compulsion and he'll drive them out of his land violently."H3068H559H4872H7200H6213H6547H2389H3027H7971H2389H3027H1644H7762Later, God told Moses, "I am the Lord.H430H1696H4872H559H30683I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, and did I not reveal to them my name 'Lord' -H7200H85H3327H3290H410H7706H8034H3068H30454I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as resident aliens for a time.H6965H1285H5414H776H3667H776H4033H14815Also, I've heard the groaning of the Israelites whom the Egyptians have forced to labor for them, and I've remembered my covenant.H8085H5009H1121H3478H834H4714H5647H2142H12856Therefore, say to the Israelites, 'I am the Lord. I'll bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I'll deliver you from their bondage. I'll redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment.H3651H559H1121H3478H3068H3318H5450H4714H5337H5656H1350H5186H2220H1419H82017I'll take you for my own people, and I'll be your God. Then you will know that I am the Lord your God who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.H3947H5971H430H3045H3068H430H3318H5450H47148I'll bring you to the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I'll give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.'"H935H776H5375H3027H5414H85H3327H3290H5414H4181H30689Then Moses reported this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to Moses due to their irritation and impatience because there was no deliverance and because of the cruel bondage.H4872H1696H1121H3478H8085H4872H7115H7307H7186H565610Then the Lord said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H55911"Go, speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he should let the Israelites go out of his land."H935H1696H6547H4428H4714H1121H3478H7971H77612Then Moses said right in front of the Lord, "Look, the Israelites didn't listen to me, so how will Pharaoh - I'm not a persuasive speaker"H4872H1696H6440H3068H559H1121H3478H8085H6547H8085H589H6189H819313Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, issuing orders to them regarding the Israelites for delivery to Pharaoh, king of Egypt; that is, to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.H3068H1696H4872H175H6680H1121H3478H6547H4428H4714H3318H1121H3478H776H4714

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
