Exod 6
Cornilescu 1924 - Revised 2010, 2014
Izbăvirea, făgăduită
6 Domnul a zis lui Moise: „Vei vedea acum ce voi face lui Faraon: o mână puternică(A) îl va sili să-i lase să plece; da, o mână puternică îl va sili să-i izgonească(B) din ţara lui.” 2 Dumnezeu a mai vorbit lui Moise şi i-a zis: „Eu sunt Domnul. 3 Eu M-am arătat lui Avraam, lui Isaac şi lui Iacov ca Dumnezeul(C) Cel Atotputernic, dar n-am fost cunoscut de el sub Numele Meu ca ‘Domnul(D).’ 4 De asemenea, Mi-am(E) încheiat legământul Meu cu ei ca să(F) le dau ţara Canaan, ţara călătoriilor lor sfinte, în care au locuit ca străini. 5 Acum însă am(G) auzit gemetele copiilor lui Israel, pe care-i ţin egiptenii în robie, şi Mi-am adus aminte de legământul Meu. 6 De aceea, spune copiilor lui Israel: ‘Eu(H) sunt Domnul. Eu vă voi(I) izbăvi din muncile cu care vă apasă egiptenii, vă voi izbăvi din robia lor şi vă voi scăpa(J) cu braţ întins şi cu mari judecăţi. 7 Vă voi(K) lua ca popor al Meu; Eu voi(L) fi Dumnezeul vostru şi veţi cunoaşte că Eu, Domnul, Dumnezeul vostru, vă izbăvesc de muncile(M) cu care vă apasă egiptenii. 8 Eu vă voi duce în ţara pe care am jurat(N) că o voi da lui Avraam, lui Isaac şi lui Iacov; Eu vă voi da-o în stăpânire; Eu, Domnul’.” 9 Astfel a vorbit Moise copiilor lui Israel. Dar deznădejdea şi robia aspră în care se aflau i-au împiedicat(O) să-l asculte pe Moise. 10 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi a zis: 11 „Du-te de vorbeşte lui Faraon, împăratul Egiptului, să lase pe copiii lui Israel să iasă din ţara lui.” 12 Moise a răspuns în faţa Domnului: „Iată că nici copiii lui Israel nu m-au(P) ascultat. Cum are să m-asculte Faraon pe mine(Q), care n-am o vorbire uşoară?” 13 Domnul a vorbit lui Moise şi lui Aaron şi le-a dat porunci cu privire la copiii lui Israel şi cu privire la Faraon, împăratul Egiptului, ca să scoată din ţara Egiptului pe copiii lui Israel.
Spiţa neamului lui Moise şi Aaron
14 Iată căpeteniile familiilor lor.

Acestea sunt familiile lui Ruben. 15 Fiii lui Simeon(S): Iemuel, Iamin, Ohad, Iachin şi Ţohar; şi Saul, fiu născut dintr-o femeie canaanită. Acestea sunt familiile lui Simeon. 16 Iată numele fiilor(T) lui Levi, după spiţa neamului lor: Gherşon, Chehat şi Merari. Anii vieţii lui Levi au fost o sută treizeci şi şapte de ani. 17 Fiii(U) lui Gherşon: Libni şi Şimei şi familiile lor. 18 Fiii lui Chehat(V): Amram, Iţehar, Hebron şi Uziel. Anii vieţii lui Chehat au fost o sută treizeci şi trei de ani. 19 Fiii lui Merari(W): Mahli şi Muşi. Acestea sunt familiile lui Levi, după spiţa neamului lor. 20 Amram(X) a luat de nevastă pe mătuşă-sa Iochebed şi ea i-a născut pe Aaron şi pe Moise. Anii vieţii lui Amram au fost o sută treizeci şi şapte de ani. 21 Fiii lui(Y) Iţehar: Core, Nefeg şi Zicri. 22 Fiii lui(Z) Uziel: Mişael, Elţafan şi Sitri. 23 Aaron a luat de nevastă pe Elişeba, fata lui Aminadab(AA), sora lui Nahşon, şi ea i-a născut pe Nadab(AB), Abihu, Eleazar şi Itamar. 24 Fiii lui(AC) Core: Asir, Elcana şi Abiasaf. Acestea sunt familiile coriţilor. 25 Eleazar, fiul lui Aaron, a luat de nevastă pe una din fetele lui Putiel, şi ea(AD) l-a născut pe Fineas. Acestea sunt căpeteniile familiilor leviţilor cu familiile lor. 26 Aceştia sunt Aaron acela şi Moise acela, cărora(AE) le-a zis Domnul: „Scoateţi din ţara Egiptului pe copiii lui Israel, după oştirile(AF) lor.” 27 Ei sunt aceia care au vorbit(AG) lui Faraon, împăratul Egiptului, ca(AH) să scoată din Egipt pe copiii lui Israel. Aceştia sunt Moise acela şi Aaron acela. 28 Când a vorbit Domnul lui Moise în ţara Egiptului, 29 Domnul a zis lui Moise: „Eu(AI) sunt Domnul. Spune(AJ) lui Faraon, împăratul Egiptului, tot ce-ţi spun.” 30 Şi Moise a răspuns înaintea Domnului: „Iată că eu(AK) nu vorbesc uşor. Cum are să m-asculte Faraon?”
Exodus 6
King James Version
6 Then the Lord said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord:
3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them.
4 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
5 And I have also 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 the Lord, 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 a stretched out 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 the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the Lord.
9 And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
10 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
11 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

13 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

15 And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon.
16 And these are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations; Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi were an hundred thirty and seven years.
17 The sons of Gershon; Libni, and Shimi, according to their families.

19 And the sons of Merari; Mahali and Mushi: these are the families of Levi according to their generations.
20 And Amram took him Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and she bare him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram were an hundred and thirty and seven years.
21 And the sons of Izhar; Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.
22 And the sons of Uzziel; Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Zithri.
23 And Aaron took him Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to wife; and she bare him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

25 And Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bare him Phinehas: these are the heads of the fathers of the Levites according to their families.
26 These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the Lord said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.
27 These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.
28 And it came to pass on the day when the Lord spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,
29 That the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, I am the Lord: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
30 And Moses said before the Lord, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
Exodus 6
New King James Version
God Renews His Promise to Israel
6 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For (A)with a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand (B)he will drive them out of his land.”
2 And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am [a]the Lord. 3 (C)I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as (D)God Almighty, but by My name (E)Lord[b] I was not known to them. 4 (F)I have also [c]established My covenant with them, (G)to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their [d]pilgrimage, (H)in which they were [e]strangers. 5 And (I)I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant. 6 Therefore say to the children of Israel: (J)‘I am the Lord; (K)I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will (L)rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with [f]an outstretched arm and with great judgments. 7 I will (M)take you as My people, and (N)I will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brings you out (O)from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you into the land which I (P)swore[g] to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the Lord.’ ” 9 So Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel; (Q)but they did not heed Moses, because of (R)anguish[h] of spirit and cruel bondage.
10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 11 “Go in, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the children of Israel go out of his land.”
12 And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, “The children of Israel have not heeded me. How then shall Pharaoh heed me, for (S)I am [i]of uncircumcised lips?”
13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a (T)command[j] for the children of Israel and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
The Family of Moses and Aaron(U)
14 These are the heads of their fathers’ houses: (V)The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. These are the families of Reuben. 15 (W)And the sons of Simeon were [k]Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman. These are the families of Simeon. 16 These are the names of (X)the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

These are the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites according to their families.
26 These are the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, “Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their (AL)armies.”[l] 27 These are the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, (AM)to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt. These are the same Moses and Aaron.
Aaron Is Moses’ Spokesman

30 But Moses said before the Lord, “Behold, (AO)I am [m]of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh heed me?”

English Standard Version
God Promises Deliverance
6 But the Lord said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for with a strong hand he will send them out, and with (A)a strong hand he will (B)drive them out of his land.”
2 God spoke to Moses and said to him, (C)“I am the Lord. 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as (D)God Almighty,[a] but by my name the (E)Lord I did not make myself known to them. 4 (F)I also established my covenant with them (G)to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they lived as sojourners. 5 Moreover, (H)I have heard the groaning of the people of Israel whom the Egyptians hold as slaves, and I have remembered my covenant. 6 Say therefore to the people of Israel, (I)‘I am the Lord, and (J)I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from slavery to them, and (K)I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment. 7 I (L)will take you to be my people, and (M)I will be your God, and you shall know that (N)I am the Lord your God, who has brought you out (O)from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 I will bring you into (P)the land that I (Q)swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you for a possession. (R)I am the Lord.’” 9 Moses spoke thus to the people of Israel, but they (S)did not listen to Moses, because of their broken spirit and harsh slavery.
10 So the Lord said to Moses, 11 “Go in, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the people of Israel go out of his land.” 12 But Moses said to the Lord, “Behold, the people of Israel have (T)not listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, for (U)I am of uncircumcised lips?” 13 But the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge about the people of Israel and about Pharaoh king of Egypt: to bring the people of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
The Genealogy of Moses and Aaron
14 These are the heads of their fathers' houses: the (V)sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these are the clans of Reuben. 15 The (W)sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the clans of Simeon. 16 These are the names of the (X)sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, the years of the life of Levi being 137 years. 17 The (Y)sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, by their clans. 18 The (Z)sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, the years of the life of Kohath being 133 years. 19 The (AA)sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the clans of the Levites according to their generations. 20 (AB)Amram took as his wife Jochebed his father's sister, and she bore him Aaron and Moses, the years of the life of Amram being 137 years. 21 (AC)The sons of Izhar: Korah, Nepheg, and Zichri. 22 The (AD)sons of Uzziel: Mishael, Elzaphan, and Sithri. 23 Aaron took as his wife Elisheba, the daughter of (AE)Amminadab and the sister of (AF)Nahshon, and she bore him (AG)Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar. 24 The (AH)sons of Korah: Assir, Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the clans of the Korahites. 25 Eleazar, Aaron's son, took as his wife one of the daughters of Putiel, and (AI)she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites by their clans.
26 These are the Aaron and Moses (AJ)to whom the Lord said: “Bring out the people of Israel from the land of Egypt (AK)by their hosts.” 27 It was they who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing out the people of Israel from Egypt, this Moses and this Aaron.
28 On the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 the Lord said to Moses, (AL)“I am the Lord; (AM)tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say to you.” 30 But Moses said to the Lord, “Behold, (AN)I am of uncircumcised lips. How will Pharaoh listen to me?”
