Israel’s Deliverance Assured

6Then the LORD said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh: Indeed, by a mighty hand he will let them go; by a mighty hand he will drive them out of his land."H3068H559H4872H7200H6213H6547H2389H3027H7971H2389H3027H1644H776 2God also spoke to Moses and said to him: "I am the LORD.H430H1696H4872H559H3068 3I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty, but by my name 'The LORD' I did not make myself known to them.H7200H85H3327H3290H410H7706H8034H3068H3045 4I also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they resided as aliens.H6965H1285H5414H776H3667H776H4033H1481 5I have also heard the groaning of the Israelites whom the Egyptians are holding as slaves, and I have remembered my covenant.H8085H5009H1121H3478H834H4714H5647H2142H1285 6Say therefore to the Israelites, 'I am the LORD, and I will free you from the burdens of the Egyptians and deliver you from slavery to them. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with mighty acts of judgment.H3651H559H1121H3478H3068H3318H5450H4714H5337H5656H1350H5186H2220H1419H8201 7I will take you as my people, and I will be your God. You shall know that I am the LORD your God, who has freed you from the burdens of the Egyptians.H3947H5971H430H3045H3068H430H3318H5450H4714 8I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; I will give it to you for a possession. I am the LORD.'"H935H776H5375H3027H5414H85H3327H3290H5414H4181H3068 9Moses told this to the Israelites; but they would not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and their cruel slavery.H4872H1696H1121H3478H8085H4872H7115H7307H7186H5656 10Then the LORD spoke to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H559 11"Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites go out of his land."H935H1696H6547H4428H4714H1121H3478H7971H776 12But Moses spoke to the LORD, "The Israelites have not listened to me; how then shall Pharaoh listen to me, poor speaker that I am?"H4872H1696H6440H3068H559H1121H3478H8085H6547H8085H589H6189H8193 13Thus the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them orders regarding the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, charging them to free the Israelites from the land of Egypt.H3068H1696H4872H175H6680H1121H3478H6547H4428H4714H3318H1121H3478H776H4714
