And God spake unto Moses saying unto him: I am the LORD,
and I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac and Iacob an almighty God: but in my name Iehouah was I not known unto them.

And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, because the Egyptians keep them in bondage, and have remembered my promise.
Wherefore say unto the children of Israel: I am the LORD, and will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and will rid you out of their bondage, and will deliver you with a stretched out arm and with great judgements.
And I will take you for my people and will be to you a God. And ye shall know that I am the LORD your God which brings you out from under the burthens of the Egyptians.
And I will bring you unto the land over the which I did lift up my hand to give it unto Abraham, Isaac and Iacob, and will give it unto you for a possession: even I the LORD.
And Moses told the children of Israel even so: But they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit and for cruel bondage.
¶ And the LORD spake unto Moses saying:
Go and bid Pharao king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel and unto Pharao king of Egypt: to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
