send them forth with a mighty hand, and with a high arm shall he cast them out of
his land.

to them my name Or, The Lord Lord.
4
And I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of the Chananites,
the land wherein they sojourned, in which also they dwelt as strangers.
5
And I hearkened to the groaning of the children of Israel (the affliction with which
the Egyptians enslave them) and I remembered the covenant Lit. your covenant with you.
6
Go, speak to the children of Israel, saying, I am the Lord; and I will lead you forth
from the tyranny of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from bondage, and I will
ransom you with a high arm, and great judgement.
7
And I will take you to me a people for myself, and will be your God; and you shall
know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the tyranny of the Egyptians.
8
And I will bring you into the land concerning which I stretched out my hand to give
it to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, and I will give it you for an inheritance: I am
the Lord.

not to me, and how shall Pharao hearken to me? and I am not eloquent.
