\v 1 Then Yahweh said to Moses, "Now you will see what I will do to the king and his people. I will make him let my people go. In fact, by my power I will force him to chase them from his land!"
|
|
|
|
\s5

\p

|
\v 2 God also said to Moses, "I am Yahweh.
|
|
\v 3 I am the one who appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and told them that I was God Almighty, but I did not tell them that my name was Yahweh.
|
|
\v 4 I also made my covenant with them, promising to give them the land of Canaan. That was the land in which they were living as foreigners.
|
|
\v 5 Furthermore, I have heard the Israelite people groan because of the hard work that the Egyptians have been making them do as their slaves. I have thought about the covenant that I made.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 6 So tell the Israelite people that I said this: 'I am Yahweh. I will free you from the burdens of heavy work that the Egyptians have forced upon you. I will free you from being their slaves. With my great power and by punishing them very harshly, I will save you.
|
|
\v 7 I will cause you to become my own people, and I will be your God, the one you worship. You will truly know that I am Yahweh God, the one who has freed you from the burdens of work as slaves of the Egyptians.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\v 8 I will bring you to the land that I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. You will live in it forever. I, Yahweh, am promising this.'"
|
|
\p
|
|
\v 9 Moses told that to the Israelite people, but they did not believe what he said. They were very sad because of the hard work they were made to do as slaves.

\v 10 Then Yahweh said to Moses,
|
|
\v 11 "Go and tell the king of Egypt again that he must allow the Israelite people to leave his land!"
|
|
\v 12 But Moses said to Yahweh, "Please listen to me. Even the Israelite people have not paid attention to what I told them. I am a poor speaker. So why should the king pay attention to what I tell him?"
|
|
\v 13 But Yahweh spoke to Aaron and Moses, "Tell the Israelite people and the king of Egypt that I have called you two to lead the Israelite people out of Egypt."
