20
And they met Moses and Aaron, who stood in the way, as they came forth from Pharaoh:
21
And they said unto them, The L
ORD
look upon you, and judge; because ye have made our savour
to be abhorred in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand
to slay us.
22
And Moses returned unto the L
ORD
, and said, Lord, wherefore hast thou
so
evil entreated
this people? why
is
it
that
thou hast sent me?
23
For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in thy name,
he hath done evil to this people; neither hast thou delivered thy people at all.
CHAPTER 6
Then the L
ORD
said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong
hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
2
And God
spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I
am
the L
ORD
:
3
And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac,
and unto Jacob, by
the name of
God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to
them.
4
And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the
land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
5
And I have also heard the groaning of the
children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
6
Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I
am
the L
ORD
, and I will bring you out from under the
burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a
stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
7
And I will take you to me for a people, and I will
be to you a God: and ye shall know that I
am
the L
ORD
your God, which bringeth you out from
under the burdens of the Egyptians.
8
And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which
I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I
am
the L
ORD
.
9
And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish
of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
10
And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses, saying,
11
Go in, speak unto
Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
12
And Moses spake
before the L
ORD
, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall
Pharaoh hear me, who
am
of uncircumcised lips?
13
And the L
ORD
spake unto Moses and unto
Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring
the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
