Exodus 6:5 - Forerunner Commentary

Exodus 6:5

3 ^aI appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as ^bGod Almighty, but by My name ^cLord I was not known to them.

4 ^aI have also established My covenant with them, ^bto give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, ^cin which they were strangers.

5 And ^aI have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant.

6 Therefore say to the children of Israel: ^a‘I am the Lord; ^bI will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will ^crescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with¹ an outstretched arm and with great judgments.

7 I will ^atake you as My people, and ^bI will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brings you out ^cfrom under the burdens of the Egyptians.

8 And I will bring you into the land which I ^aswore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the Lord.’ ”

9 So Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel; ^abut they did not heed Moses, because of ^banguish of spirit and cruel bondage.

10 And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

11 “Go in, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the children of Israel go out of his land.”
