Exodus Chapter 6

Exodus Chapter 6
1 Then the Lord said unto Moses, Now
shalt thou see, what I will do unto
Pharaoh: for by a strong hand shall he let
them go, and even be constrained to
drive them out of his land.
2 Moreover God spake unto Moses, and
said unto him, I am the Lord, 3 And I
appeared unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to
Jacob by the Name of Almighty God: but
by my name Jehovah was I not known
unto them. 4 Furthermore as I made my
covenant with them to give them the land
of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage,
wherein they were strangers: 5 So I have
also heard the groaning of the children of
Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in
bondage, and have remembered my
covenant.
6 Wherefore say thou unto the children
of Israel, I am the Lord, and I will bring
you out from the burdens of the
Egyptians, and will deliver you out of
their bondage, and will redeem you in a
stretched out arm, and in great
judgments. 7 Also I will take you for my
people, and will be your God: then ye
shall know that I the Lord your God
bring you out from the burdens of the
Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you into
the land which I swear that I would give
to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, and I
will give it unto you for a possession: I
am the Lord.
9 So Moses told the children of Israel
thus: but they hearkened not unto Moses,
for anguish of spirit and for cruel
bondage.
10 Then the Lord spake unto Moses,
saying,
11 Go speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt,
that he let the children of Israel go out of
his land.
12 But Moses spake before the Lord,
saying, Behold, the children of Israel
hearken not unto me, how then shall
Pharaoh hear me, which am of
uncircumcised lips?
13 Then the Lord spake unto Moses and
unto Aaron, and charged them to go to
the children of Israel and to 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 are Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron
and Carmi: these are the families of
Reuben.
15 Also the sons of Simeon: Jemuel and
Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zoar,
and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish
woman: these are the families of
Simeon.
16 These also are the names of the sons
of Levi in their generations: Gershon and
Kohath and Merari (and the years of the
life of Levi were an hundred thirty and
seven year)
17 The sons of Gershon were Libni and
Shimi by their families. 18 And the sons
of Kohath, Amram and Izhar, and
Hebron, and Uzziel. (and Kohath lived
an hundred thirty and three year)
19 Also the sons of Merari were Mahali
and Mushi: these are the families of Levi

Abiasaph: these are the families of the
Korhites.
25 And Eleazar Aaron’s son took him
one of the daughters of Putiel to his
wife, which bear him Phinehas: these
are the principal fathers of the Levites
throughout their families.
26 These are Aaron and Moses to whom
the Lord said, Bring the children of
Israel out of the land of Egypt, according
to their armies.
27 These are that Moses and Aaron,
which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt,
that they might bring the children of
Israel out of Egypt.
28 And at that time when the Lord spake
unto Moses in the land of Egypt, 29
When the Lord, I say, spake unto Moses,
saying, I am the Lord, speak thou unto
Pharaoh the king of Egypt all that I say
unto thee,
30 Then Moses said before the Lord,
Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and
how shall Pharaoh hear me?
