1 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For awith a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand bhe will drive them out of his land.”
2 And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am1 the Lord.
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.”
12 And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, “The children of Israel have not heeded me. How then shall Pharaoh heed me, for aI am of uncircumcised lips?”
13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a acommand for the children of Israel and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

14 These are the heads of their fathers’ houses: aThe sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. These are the families of Reuben.
