Exodus 6:1 - Prayer Tents

God Promises Action

6Then the LORD said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for under compulsion he shall let them go, and under compulsion he shall drive them out of his land."H3068H559H4872H7200H6213H6547H2389H3027H7971H2389H3027H1644H776

2God spoke further to Moses and said to him, "I am the LORD;H430H1696H4872H559H3068

3and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but [by] My name, LORD, I did not make Myself known to them.H7200H85H3327H3290H410H7706H8034H3068H3045

4"And I also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they sojourned.H6965H1285H5414H776H3667H776H4033H1481

5"And furthermore I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, because the Egyptians are holding them in bondage; and I have remembered My covenant.H8085H5009H1121H3478H834H4714H5647H2142H1285

6"Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, 'I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage. I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.H3651H559H1121H3478H3068H3318H5450H4714H5337H5656H1350H5186H2220H1419H8201

7'Then I will take you for My people, and I will be your God; and you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.H3947H5971H430H3045H3068H430H3318H5450H4714

8'And I will bring you to the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give it to you [for] a possession; I am the LORD.' "H935H776H5375H3027H5414H85H3327H3290H5414H4181H3068

9So Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses on account of [their] despondency and cruel bondage.H4872H1696H1121H3478H8085H4872H7115H7307H7186H5656

10Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,H3068H1696H4872H559

11"Go, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the sons of Israel go out of his land."H935H1696H6547H4428H4714H1121H3478H7971H776

12But Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, "Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me; how then will Pharaoh listen to me, for I am unskilled in speech?"H4872H1696H6440H3068H559H1121H3478H8085H6547H8085H589H6189H8193

13Then the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the sons of Israel and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.H3068H1696H4872H175H6680H1121H3478H6547H4428H4714H3318H1121H3478H776H4714

20And Amram married his father's sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses; and the length of Amram's life was one hundred and thirty-seven years.H6019H3947H3115H1733H802H3205H175H4872H8141H2416H6019H3967H7970H7651H8141

25And Aaron's son Eleazar married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers' [households] of the Levites according to their families.H499H175H1121H3947H1323H6317H802H3205H6372H7218H1H3881H4940

26It was [the same] Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, "Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their hosts."H1931H175H4872H834H3068H559H3318H1121H3478H776H4714H6635

27They were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing out the sons of Israel from Egypt; it was [the same] Moses and Aaron.H1992H1696H6547H4428H4714H3318H1121H3478H4714H4872H175

28Now it came about on the day when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,H3117H3068H1696H4872H776H4714

29that the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "I am the LORD; speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak to you."H3068H1696H4872H559H3068H1696H6547H4428H4714H1696

30But Moses said before the LORD, "Behold, I am unskilled in speech; how then will Pharaoh listen to me?"H4872H559H6440H3068H6189H8193H6547H8085
