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.
