Exodus 6:2-9

American Standard Version

² And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am Jehovah: ³ and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as ^[a]God Almighty; but ^[b]by my name Jehovah I was not ^[c]known to them. ⁴ And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings, wherein they sojourned. ⁵ And moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. ⁶ Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am Jehovah, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments: ⁷ and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah your God, who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. ⁸ And I will bring you in unto the land which I ^[d]sware to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for a heritage: I am Jehovah. ⁹ And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for ^[e]anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
