⁵ Moreover, I have heard the groaning^(A) of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant.^(B)

⁶ “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.^(C) I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem^(D) you with an outstretched arm^(E) and with mighty acts of judgment.^(F)

³⁶ The Lord had made the Egyptians favorably disposed^(A) toward the people, and they gave them what they asked for; so they plundered^(B) the Egyptians.
