21 1The sons of Izhar: Korah and Nepheg and Zichri.
22 2The sons of Uzziel: Mishael and Elzaphan and Sithri.
23 Aaron married * Elisheba, the daughter of 3Amminadab, the sister of 4Nahshon, and she bore him 5Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
24 The 6sons of Korah: Assir and Elkanah and Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites.
25 Aaron's son 7Eleazar married * one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him 8Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers' households of the Levites according to their families.
26 It was the same Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, "9Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their 10hosts."
27 They were the ones 11who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing out the sons of Israel from Egypt; it was the same Moses and Aaron.
28 Now it came about on the day when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,
29 that the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, "12I am the LORD; 13speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak to you."
30 But Moses said before the LORD, "Behold, I am 14unskilled in speech; how then will Pharaoh listen to me?"

Exodus 6:21-30 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO EXODUS 6

The Lord encourages Moses to hope for success from his name Jehovah, and the covenant he had made with the fathers of his people, Ex 6:1-5, orders him to assure the children of Israel that he would deliver them from their bondage and burdens, and bring them into the land of Canaan; but through their distress and anguish they hearkened not to him, Ex 6:6-9 but Moses is sent again to Pharaoh to demand the dismission of Israel, to which he seems unwilling, and both he and Aaron are charged both to go to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh, Ex 6:10-13, next follows a genealogy of the tribes of Reuben, Simeon, and Levi, which seems to be given for the sake of Moses and Aaron, and to show their descent, Ex 6:14-15, who were the persons appointed of God to be the instruments of bringing the children of Israel out of Egypt, Ex 6:26-30.
