²God also said to Moses, “I am the Lord.^(A) ³I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty,^[a]^(B) but by my name^(C) the Lord^[b]^(D) I did not make myself fully known to them. ⁴I also established my covenant^(E) with them to give them the land^(F) of Canaan, where they resided as foreigners.^(G) ⁵Moreover, I have heard the groaning^(H) of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant.^(I)

⁶“Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.^(J) I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem^(K) you with an outstretched arm^(L) and with mighty acts of judgment.^(M) ⁷I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God.^(N) Then you will know^(O) that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. ⁸And I will bring you to the land^(P) I swore^(Q) with uplifted hand^(R) to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob.^(S) I will give it to you as a possession.

²God spoke further to Moses and said to him, “I am ^(A)the Lord; ³and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as ^[a]^(B)God Almighty, but by ^(C)My name, ^[b]Lord, I did not make Myself known to them. ⁴I also established ^(D)My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the ^[c]land in which they lived as strangers. ⁵Furthermore I have ^(E)heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, because the Egyptians are holding them in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant. ⁶Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, ‘^(F)I am the Lord, and ^(G)I will bring you out from under the labors of the Egyptians, and I will rescue you from their bondage. I will also ^(H)redeem you with ^(I)an outstretched arm, and with great judgments. ⁷Then I will take you ^[d]^(J)as My people, and ^(K)I will be ^[e]your God; and ^(L)you shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the labors of the Egyptians. ⁸I will bring you to the land which ^(M)I ^[f]swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and ^(N)I will give it to you as a possession; ^(O)I am the Lord.’”
