Exodus 5:22-6:13
Legacy Standard Bible
22 Then Moses returned to Yahweh and said, “(A)O Lord, why have You brought harm to this people? Why did You ever send me? 23 Ever since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done harm to this people, (B)and You have not delivered Your people at all.”
Yahweh Remembers His Covenant
6 Then Yahweh said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for (C)by a strong hand he will let them go, and by a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.”
2 God spoke further to Moses and said to him, “I am (D)Yahweh; 3 and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as [a](E)God Almighty, but by (F)My name, Yahweh, I was not known to them. 4 And I also established (G)My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the [b]land in which they sojourned. 5 Furthermore I have (H)heard the groaning of the sons of Israel because the Egyptians are holding them in slavery, and I have remembered My covenant. 6 Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, ‘(I)I am Yahweh, and (J)I will bring you out from under the hard labors of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their slavery. I will also (K)redeem you with (L)an outstretched arm and with great judgments. 7 Then I will take you [c](M)for My people, and (N)I will be [d]your God; and (O)you shall know that I am Yahweh your God, who brought you out from under the hard labors of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you to the land which (P)I [e]swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, and (Q)I will give it to you for a possession; (R)I am Yahweh.’” 9 So Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses on (S)account of their weakness of spirit and [f]hard slavery.
10 Now Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 11 “(T)Come, [g]tell Pharaoh king of Egypt [h]to let the sons of Israel go out of his land.” 12 But Moses spoke before Yahweh, saying, “Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me; (U)how then will Pharaoh listen to me, for I am of (V)uncircumcised lips?” 13 Then Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron and gave them a command for the sons of Israel and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
