“1 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. 12 And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children
of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me,
who [am] of uncircumcised lips? 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.”
“14 These [be] the heads of their fathers’ houses: The sons of Reuben
the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these
[be] the families of Reuben. 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. 18 And the sons of Kohath;
Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of
Kohath [were] an hundred thirty and three years. 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. 24 And the sons of Korah; Assir,
and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these [are] the families of the Korhites. 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?” (Ex 6:1-30 AV)
