Chapter 6 | |
1 | Then the LORD 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 LORD: |
3 | And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac,
and unto Jacob, by the name of 1God 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 LORD, 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 1I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that
I am the LORD 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 LORD. |
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 LORD 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 LORD, 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 LORD 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. |
14 | These be the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these be the families of Reuben. |
15 | And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon. |
16 | And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi were an hundred thirty and seven years. |
17 | The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families. |
18 | And the sons of Kohath; Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath were an hundred thirty and three years. |
19 | And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of Levi according to their generations. |
20 | And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred and thirty and seven years. |
21 | And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri. |
22 | And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri. |
23 | And Aaron
took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she
bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.
|
24 | And the sons of Korah; Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korhites. |
25 | And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families. |
26 | These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies. |
27 | These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron. |
28 | And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt, |
29 | That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee. |
30 | And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me? |
