Exodus 6 :: New American Standard Bible 2020 (NASB20)

God Promises Action

Exo 6:1

Exo 6:1

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for [fn]under compulsion he will let them go, and [fn]under compulsion he will drive them out of his land.”

Exo 6:2

Exo 6:2

God spoke further to Moses and said to him, “I am the LORD;

Exo 6:3

Exo 6:3and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as [fn]God Almighty, but by My name, [fn]LORD, I did not make Myself known to them.

Exo 6:4

Exo 6:4“I also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the [fn]land in which they lived as strangers.

Exo 6:5

Exo 6:5“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.

Exo 6:6

Exo 6:6“Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, ‘I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the labors of the Egyptians, and I will rescue you from their bondage. I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments.

Exo 6:7

Exo 6:7‘Then I will take you [fn]as My people, and I will be [fn]your God; and you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the labors of the Egyptians.

Exo 6:8

Exo 6:8‘I will bring you to the land which I [fn]swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give it to you as a possession; I am the LORD.’”

Exo 6:9

Exo 6:9So Moses said this to the sons of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses on account of their [fn]despondency and cruel bondage.

Exo 6:10

Exo 6:10

Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,

Exo 6:11

Exo 6:11“Go, [fn]tell Pharaoh king of Egypt [fn]to let the sons of Israel go out of his land.”

Exo 6:12

Exo 6:12But Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, “Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me; how then will Pharaoh listen to me, as I am [fn]unskilled in speech?”

Exo 6:13

Exo 6:13Nevertheless, the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron and gave them a command concerning the sons of Israel and Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

Exo 6:30
