Exodus 6:1-7 ▼

1 Then the Lorde sayde vnto Moyses: Nowe shalt thou see what I wyll do vnto Pharao: for in a mightie hande shal he let them go, and in a mightie hande shall he dryue them out of his lande.

2 And God spake vnto Moyses, and said vnto him: I am Iehouah.

3 I appeared vnto Abraham, Isahac, and Iacob as an almightie God: but in my name Iehouah was I not knowen vnto them.

4 Moreouer I made a couenaunt with them, to geue them the lande of Chanaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were straungers.

5 And therefore I haue also heard the groning of the childre of Israel, whom the Egyptians kepe in bondage, and haue remembred my couenaunt.

6 Wherfore say vnto the children of Israel: I am Iehouah, I wil bryng you out from the burthens of the Egyptians, and will ryd you out of their bondage, and will deliuer you in a stretched out arme, and in great iudgementes.

7 And I will take you for my people, and wilbe to you a God: And ye shall knowe that I am the Lord your God which bring you out from the burthens of the Egyptians.
