| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1The LORD told Moses, "Now you're about to see what I'll do to Pharaoh. Indeed, he'll send them out under compulsion and he'll drive them out of his land violently." |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2Later, God told Moses, "I am the LORD. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob as God Almighty, and did I not reveal to them my name 'LORD'? |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land where they lived as resident aliens for a time. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Also, I've heard the groaning of the Israelis whom the Egyptians have forced to labor for them, and I've remembered my covenant. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Therefore, tell the Israelis, 'I am the LORD. I'll bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I'll deliver you from their bondage. I'll redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7I'll take you for my own people, and I'll be your God. Then you will know that I am the LORD your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8I'll bring you to the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I'll give it to you as a possession. I am the LORD.'" |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Then Moses reported this to the Israelis, but they did not listen to Moses due to their irritation and impatience because there was no deliverance and because of the cruel bondage. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Then the LORD told Moses, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11"Go, speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he should let the Israelis go out of his land." |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Then Moses said right in front of the LORD, "Look, the Israelis didn't listen to me, so how will Pharaoh? I'm not a persuasive speaker" |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Then the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, issuing orders to them regarding the Israelis for delivery to Pharaoh, king of Egypt; that is, to bring the Israelis out of the land of Egypt. |

| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27They were the ones speaking to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring the Israelis out of Egypt; this is that same Moses and Aaron. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28And it happened when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29that the LORD told Moses, "I am the LORD. Tell Pharaoh, king of Egypt, everything that I'm saying to you." |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30Moses said in the presence of the LORD, "Look, I'm not a persuasive speaker, so how will Pharaoh listen to me?" |
