Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh:
for with a strong hand shall he let them go,
and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.

002:006:002
And God spake unto Moses,
and said unto him,
I am the LORD:

002:006:003
And I appeared unto Abraham,
unto Isaac,
and unto Jacob,
by the name of God Almighty,
but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

002:006:004
And I have also established my covenant with them,
to give them the land of Canaan,
the land of their pilgrimage,
wherein they were strangers.

002:006:005
And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel,
whom the Egyptians keep in bondage;
and I have remembered my covenant.

002:006:006
Wherefore say unto the children of Israel,
I am the LORD,
and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians,
and I will rid you out of their bondage,
and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm,
and with great judgments:

002:006:007
And I will take you to me for a people,
and I will be to you a God:
and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God,
which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

002:006:008
And I will bring you in unto the land,
concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham,
to Isaac,
and to Jacob;
and I will give it you for an heritage:
I am the LORD.

who am of uncircumcised lips?
