Exodus 6 — LSV
6Verse 1And YHWH says to Moses, “Now you see that which I do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand he sends them away, indeed, with a strong hand he casts them out of his land.”Verse 2And God speaks to Moses and says to him, “I [am] YHWH,Verse 3and I appear to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; as for My Name YHWH, I have not been known to them;Verse 4and I have also established My covenant with them, to give the land of Canaan to them, the land of their sojournings, wherein they have sojourned;Verse 5and I have also heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians are causing to serve, and I remember My covenant.Verse 6Therefore say to the sons of Israel: I [am] YHWH, and I have brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and have delivered you from their service, and have redeemed you by an outstretched arm, and by great judgments,Verse 7and have taken you to Myself for a people, and I have been to you for God, and you have known that I [am] your God YHWH, who is bringing you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians;Verse 8and I have brought you to the land which I have lifted up My hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, and have given it to you—a possession; I [am] YHWH.”Verse 9And Moses speaks so to the sons of Israel, and they did not listen to Moses, for anguish of spirit, and for harsh service.Verse 10And YHWH speaks to Moses, saying,Verse 11“Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he sends the sons of Israel out of his land”;Verse 12and Moses speaks before YHWH, saying, “Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me, and how does Pharaoh hear me, and I of uncircumcised lips?”Verse 13And YHWH speaks to Moses and to Aaron, and charges them for the sons of Israel, and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt.Verse 14These [are] heads of the house of their fathers. Sons of Reuben firstborn of Israel: Enoch, and Phallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these [are] families of Reuben.Verse 15And sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul, son of the Canaanite; these [are] families of Simeon.Verse 16And these [are] the names of the sons of Levi, as to their births: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari; and the years of the life of Levi [are] one hundred and thirty-seven years.Verse 17The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimi, as to their families.Verse 18And the sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel; and the years of the life of Kohath [are] one hundred and thirty-three years.Verse 19And the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; these [are] families of Levi, as to their births.Verse 20And Amram takes his aunt Jochebed to himself for a wife, and she bears Aaron and Moses to him; and the years of the life of Amram [are] one hundred and thirty-seven years.Verse 21And sons of Izhar: Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.Verse 22And sons of Uzziel: Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Sithri.Verse 23And Aaron takes Elisheba daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to himself for a wife, and she bears to him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.Verse 24And sons of Korah: Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these [are] families of the Korahite.Verse 25And Eleazar, Aaron’s son, has taken to himself [one] of the daughters of Putiel for a wife for himself, and she bears Phinehas to him; these [are] heads of the fathers of the Levites, as to their families.Verse 26This [is] Aaron—and Moses—to whom YHWH said, “Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by their hosts”;Verse 27these are they who are speaking to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt, this [is] Moses—and Aaron.Verse 28And it comes to pass in the day of YHWH’s speaking to Moses in the land of Egypt,Verse 29that YHWH speaks to Moses, saying, “I [am] YHWH, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am speaking to you.”Verse 30And Moses says before YHWH, “Behold, I [am] of uncircumcised lips, and how does Pharaoh listen to me?”
