Exodus 6:2-8

God Promises Deliverance

2 God spoke to Moses and said to him, g "I am the Lord. 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as h God Almighty, 1 but by my name the i Lord I did not make myself known to them. 4 j I also established my covenant with them k to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they lived as sojourners. 5 Moreover, l I have heard the groaning of the people of Israel whom the Egyptians hold as slaves, and I have remembered my covenant. 6 Say therefore to the people of Israel, m 'I am the Lord, and n I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from slavery to them, and o I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great acts of judgment. 7 I p will take you to be my people, and q I will be your God, and you shall know that m I am the Lord your God, who has brought you out n from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 I will bring you into r the land that I s swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob. I will give it to you for a possession. m I am the Lord.'"
