1Then the LORD<3068> said<559> to Moses<4872>, "Now<6258> you shall see<7200> what<834> I will do<6213> to Pharaoh<6547>; for under compulsion<2389><3027> he will let<7971> them go<7971>, and under compulsion<2389><3027> he will drive<1644> them out of his land<776>."
2God<430> spoke<1696> further to Moses<4872> and said<559> to him, "I am the LORD<3068>;
3and I appeared<7200> to Abraham<85>, Isaac<3327>, and Jacob<3290>, as God<410> Almighty<7706>, but by My name<8034>, LORD<3068>, I did not make<3045> Myself known<3045> to them.
4"I also<1571> established<6965> My covenant<1285> with them, to give<5414> them the land<776> of Canaan<3667>, the land<776> in which<834> they sojourned<1481>.
5"Furthermore<1571> I have heard<8085> the groaning<5009> of the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>, because<834> the Egyptians<4714> are holding<5647> them in bondage<5647>, and I have remembered<2142> My covenant<1285>.
6"Say<559>, therefore<3651>, to the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>, 'I am the LORD<3068>, and I will bring<3318> you out from under<8478> the burdens<5450> of the Egyptians<4714>, and I will deliver<5337> you from their bondage<5656>. I will also redeem<1350> you with an outstretched<5186> arm<2220> and with great<1419> judgments<8201>.
7'Then I will take<3947> you for My people<5971>, and I will be your God<430>; and you shall know<3045> that I am the LORD<3068> your God<430>, who brought<3318> you out from under<8478> the burdens<5450> of the Egyptians<4714>.
8'I will bring<935> you to the land<776> which<834> I swore<5375><3027> to give<5414> to Abraham<85>, Isaac<3327>, and Jacob<3290>, and I will give<5414> it to you for a possession<4181>; I am the LORD<3068>.'"
9So Moses<4872> spoke<1696> thus<3651> to the sons<1121> of Israel<3478>, but they did not listen<8085> to Moses<4872> on account<4480> of their despondency<7115><7307> and cruel<7186> bondage<5656>.
10Now the LORD<3068> spoke<1696> to Moses<4872>, saying<559>,
11"Go<935>, tell<1696> Pharaoh<6547> king<4428> of Egypt<4714> to let<7971> the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> go<7971> out of his land<776>."
12But Moses<4872> spoke<1696> before<6440> the LORD<3068>, saying<559>, "Behold<2005>, the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> have not listened<8085> to me; how<349> then will Pharaoh<6547> listen<8085> to me, for I am unskilled<6189> in speech<8193>?"
13Then the LORD<3068> spoke<1696> to Moses<4872> and to Aaron<175>, and gave<6680> them a charge<6680> to the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> and to Pharaoh<6547> king<4428> of Egypt<4714>, to bring<3318> the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> out of the land<776> of Egypt<4714>.
14These<428> are the heads<7218> of their fathers'<1> households<1004>. The sons<1121> of Reuben<7205>, Israel's<3478> firstborn<1060>: Hanoch<2585> and Pallu<6396>, Hezron<2696> and Carmi<3756>; these<428> are the families<4940> of Reuben<7205>.
15The sons<1121> of Simeon<8095>: Jemuel<3223> and Jamin<3226> and Ohad<161> and Jachin<3199> and Zohar<6714> and Shaul<7586> the son<1121> of a Canaanite<3669> woman<3669>; these<428> are the families<4940> of Simeon<8095>.
16These<428> are the names<8034> of the sons<1121> of Levi<3878> according to their generations<8435>: Gershon<1648> and Kohath<6955> and Merari<4847>; and the length<8141> of Levi's<3878> life<2425> was one hundred<3967> and thirty-seven<7970><7651> years<8141>.
17The sons<1121> of Gershon<1648>: Libni<3845> and Shimei<8096>, according to their families<4940>.
18The sons<1121> of Kohath<6955>: Amram<6019> and Izhar<3324> and Hebron<2275> and Uzziel<5816>; and the length<8141> of Kohath's<6955> life<2425> was one hundred<3967> and thirty-three<7970><7969> years<8141>.
19The sons<1121> of Merari<4847>: Mahli<4249> and Mushi<4187>. These<428> are the families<4940> of the Levites<3881> according to their generations<8435>.
20Amram<6019> married<3947><802> his father's<1733> sister<1733> Jochebed<3115>, and she bore<3205> him Aaron<175> and Moses<4872>; and the length<8141> of Amram's<6019> life<2425> was one hundred<3967> and thirty-seven<7970><7651> years<8141>.
21The sons<1121> of Izhar<3324>: Korah<7141> and Nepheg<5298> and Zichri<2147>.
22The sons<1121> of Uzziel<5816>: Mishael<4332> and Elzaphan<469> and Sithri<5644>.
23Aaron<175> married<3947><802> Elisheba<472>, the daughter<1323> of Amminadab<5992>, the sister<269> of Nahshon<5177>, and she bore<3205> him Nadab<5070> and Abihu<30>, Eleazar<499> and Ithamar<385>.
24The sons<1121> of Korah<7141>: Assir<617> and Elkanah<511> and Abiasaph<23>; these<428> are the families<4940> of the Korahites<7145>.
25Aaron's<175> son<1121> Eleazar<499> married<3947><802> one<4480> of the daughters<1323> of Putiel<6317>, and she bore<3205> him Phinehas<6372>. These<428> are the heads<7218> of the fathers'<1> households of the Levites<3881> according to their families<4940>.
26It was the same Aaron<175> and Moses<4872> to whom<834> the LORD<3068> said<559>, "Bring<3318> out the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> from the land<776> of Egypt<4714> according<5921> to their hosts<6635>."
27They were the ones who spoke<1696> to Pharaoh<6547> king<4428> of Egypt<4714> about bringing<3318> out the sons<1121> of Israel<3478> from Egypt<4714>; it was the same Moses<4872> and Aaron<175>.
28Now it came<1961> about on the day<3117> when the LORD<3068> spoke<1696> to Moses<4872> in the land<776> of Egypt<4714>,
29that the LORD<3068> spoke<1696> to Moses<4872>, saying<559>, "I am the LORD<3068>; speak<1696> to Pharaoh<6547> king<4428> of Egypt<4714> all<3605> that I speak<1696> to you."
30But Moses<4872> said<559> before<6440> the LORD<3068>, "Behold<2005>, I am unskilled<6189> in speech<8193>; how<349> then will Pharaoh<6547> listen<8085> to me?"
