Exodus 6

CHAPTER 6 The LORD Remembers His Covenant

1 And the lord said to Moses, Already you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with [²hand ¹a fortified] he shall send them; and with [²arm ¹a high] he will cast them from out of his land. 2 [³spoke ¹And ²God] to Moses, and said to him, I am the lord. 3 And I appeared to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, [³God ¹being ²their]. And my name, the lord, was not manifested to them. 4 And I established my covenant with them, so as to give to them the land of Canaan, the land which they sojourned, in which also they sojourned upon it. 5 And I hearkened to the moaning of the sons of Israel, in which the Egyptians reduced them to slavery. And I remembered your covenant. 6 Proceed, say to the sons of Israel! saying, I am the lord, and I will lead you from the domination of the Egyptians, and I will rescue you from their slavery, and I will ransom you with [²arm ¹a high] and [²judgment ¹great]. 7 And I will take you to myself as a people to me. And I will be your God. And you will know that I am the lord your God, the one leading you from out of the tyranny of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you into the land in which I stretched out my hand to give it to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob. And I will give it to you by lot. I am the lord. 9 [³spoke ¹And ²Moses] thus to the sons of Israel, and they did not hearken to Moses because of faint-heartedness, and because of the [²works ¹hard]. 10 [³said ¹And ²the lord] to Moses, saying, 11 Enter, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt! that he may send out the sons of Israel from his land. 12 [³spoke ¹And ²Moses] before the lord, saying, Behold, the sons of Israel do not listen to me, and how shall [²listen to ³me ¹Pharaoh], for I am not reckoned? 13 [³spoke ¹And ²the lord] to Moses and Aaron, and he ordered them to Pharaoh king of Egypt, so as to lead out the sons of Israel from out of the land of Egypt.

14 And these are the chiefs of the houses of their families. The sons of Reuben first-born of Israel -- Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi -- this is the kin of Reuben. 15 And the sons of Simeon -- Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the one from the Phoenician woman. These are the families of the sons of Simeon. 16 And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their kin -- Gershon, Kohath and Merari; and the years of the life of Levi -- a hundred thirty-seven years. 17 And these are the sons of Gershon -- Libni and Shimei; the houses of their family. 18 And the sons of Kohath -- Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel; and the years of the life of Kohath -- a hundred thirty years. 19 And the sons of Merari -- Mahli, and Mushi. These are the houses of the families of Levi, according to their kin. 20 And Amram took Jochebed daughter of the brother of his father to himself for a wife. And she bore to him also Aaron, and Moses, and Miriam their sister. And the years of the life of Amram -- a hundred thirty-seven years. 21 And the sons of Izhar -- Korah, and Nepheg, and Zithri. 22 And the sons of Uzziel -- Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri. 23 [³took ¹And ²Aaron] Elisheba daughter of Amminadab sister of Naahshon to himself as wife. And she bore to him also Nadab, and Abihu, and Eleazar, and Ithamar. 24 And the sons of Korah -- Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasar. These are the generations of Korah. 25 And Eleazar the son of Aaron, took of the daughters of Putiel to himself as wife; and she bore to him Phinehas. These are the heads of the family of the Levites, according to their generations. 26 This Aaron and Moses, is whom God said to them to lead the sons of Israel from out of Egypt with their force. 27 These are the ones reasoning with Pharaoh king of Egypt, so as to lead the sons of Israel from out of Egypt -- Aaron himself and Moses, 28 in the day the lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt. 29 And the lord spoke to Moses, saying, I am the lord. Speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt as much as I tell to you! 30 And Moses said before the lord, Behold, I am weak-voiced, and how shall [²listen to ³me ¹Pharaoh]?
