Exodus 6:1 - Prayer Tents

6GOD said to Moses, "Now you'll see what I'll do to Pharaoh: With a strong hand he'll send them out free; with a strong hand he'll drive them out of his land."H3068H559H4872H7200H6213H6547H2389H3027H7971H2389H3027H1644H776 2God continued speaking to Moses, reassuring him, "I am GOD.H430H1696H4872H559H3068 3I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as The Strong God, but by my name GOD (I-Am-Present) I was not known to them.H7200H85H3327H3290H410H7706H8034H3068H3045 4I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the country in which they lived as sojourners.H6965H1285H5414H776H3667H776H4033H1481 5But now I've heard the groanings of the Israelites whom the Egyptians continue to enslave and I've remembered my covenant.H8085H5009H1121H3478H834H4714H5647H2142H1285 6Therefore tell the Israelites: "I am GOD. I will bring you out from under the cruel hard labor of Egypt. I will rescue you from slavery. I will redeem you, intervening with great acts of judgment.H3651H559H1121H3478H3068H3318H5450H4714H5337H5656H1350H5186H2220H1419H8201 7I'll take you as my own people and I'll be God to you. You'll know that I am GOD, your God who brings you out from under the cruel hard labor of Egypt.H3947H5971H430H3045H3068H430H3318H5450H4714 8I'll bring you into the land that I promised to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and give it to you as your own country. I AM GOD."H935H776H5375H3027H5414H85H3327H3290H5414H4181H3068 9But when Moses delivered this message to the Israelites, they didn't even hear him—they were that beaten down in spirit by the harsh slave conditions.H4872H1696H1121H3478H8085H4872H7115H7307H7186H5656 10Then GOD said to Moses,H3068H1696H4872H559 11"Go and speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt so that he will release the Israelites from his land."H935H1696H6547H4428H4714H1121H3478H7971H776 12Moses answered GOD, "Look—the Israelites won't even listen to me. How do you expect Pharaoh to? And besides, I stutter."H4872H1696H6440H3068H559H1121H3478H8085H6547H8085H589H6189H8193 13But GOD again laid out the facts to Moses and Aaron regarding the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he again commanded them to lead the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.H3068H1696H4872H175H6680H1121H3478H6547H4428H4714H3318H1121H3478H776H4714
