Exodus 6

Common English Bible CEB

1 The LORD replied to Moses, "Now you will see what I'll do to Pharaoh. In fact, he'll be so eager to let them go that he'll drive them out of his land by force."

2 God also said to Moses: "I am the LORD.

3 I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty, but I didn't reveal myself to them by my name ‘The LORD.'

4 I also set up my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan where they lived as immigrants.

5 I've also heard the cry of grief of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians have turned into slaves, and I've remembered my covenant.

6 Therefore, say to the Israelites, ‘I am the LORD. I'll bring you out from Egyptian forced labor. I'll rescue you from your slavery to them. I'll set you free with great power and with momentous events of justice.

7 I'll take you as my people, and I'll be your God. You will know that I, the LORD, am your God, who has freed you from Egyptian forced labor.

8 I'll bring you into the land that I promised to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I'll give it to you as your possession. I am the LORD.'"

9 Moses told this to the Israelites. But they didn't listen to Moses, because of their complete exhaustion and their hard labor.

10 Then the LORD said to Moses,

11 "Go and tell Pharaoh, Egypt's king, to let the Israelites out of his land."

12 But Moses said to the LORD, "The Israelites haven't even listened to me. How can I expect Pharaoh to listen to me, especially since I'm not a very good speaker?"

13 Nevertheless, the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron about the Israelites and Pharaoh, Egypt's king, giving them orders to let the Israelites go from the land of Egypt.

27 It was also this same Moses and Aaron who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.

28 At the time the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

29 the LORD said to him, "I am the LORD. Tell Pharaoh, Egypt's king, everything that I've said to you."

30 But Moses replied to the LORD, "Look, I'm not a very good speaker. How is Pharaoh ever going to listen to me?"

The Message Bible MSG

1 God said to Moses, "Now you'll see what I'll do to Pharaoh: With a strong hand he'll send them out free; with a strong hand he'll drive them out of his land."

2 God continued speaking to Moses, reassuring him, "I am God.

3 I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as The Strong God, but by my name God (I-Am-Present) I was not known to them.

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

5 But now I've heard the groanings of the Israelites whom the Egyptians continue to enslave and I've remembered my covenant.

6 Therefore tell the Israelites:

7 I'll take you as my own people and I'll be God to you. You'll know that I am God, your God who brings you out from under the cruel hard labor of Egypt.

8 I'll bring you into the land that I promised to give Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and give it to you as your own country. I AM God."

9 But when Moses delivered this message to the Israelites, they didn't even hear him - they were that beaten down in spirit by the harsh slave conditions.

10 Then God said to Moses,

11 "Go and speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt so that he will release the Israelites from his land."

12 Moses answered God, "Look - the Israelites won't even listen to me. How do you expect Pharaoh to? And besides, I stutter."

13 But God again laid out the facts to Moses and Aaron regarding the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he again commanded them to lead the Israelites out of the land of Egypt. The Family Tree of Moses and Aaron
