Exodus 6:2-8

2 God spoke to Moses and said to him, ¹“I am the Lord.

3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as ²God Almighty, ^[a] but by my name the ³Lord I did not make myself known to them.

4 ⁴I also established my covenant with them ⁵to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they lived as sojourners.

5 Moreover, ⁶I have heard the groaning of the people of Israel whom the Egyptians hold as slaves, and I have remembered my covenant.

6 Say therefore to the people of Israel, ⁷‘I am the Lord, and ⁸I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from slavery to them, and ⁹I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment.

7 I ¹⁰will take you to be my people, and ¹¹I will be your God, and you shall know that ¹²I am the Lord your God, who has brought you out ¹³from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

8 I will bring you into ¹⁴the land that I ¹⁵swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you for a possession. ¹⁶I am the Lord. ’”
