6:1 Then YHWH (יהוה) said unto Mosheh:
Now shalt thou see what I will do to Paroh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his eretz.
6:2 (i) And Elohim spake unto Mosheh, and said unto him, ANI YHWH (יהוה):
6:3 And I ra'ah (appeared) unto Avraham, unto Yitz'chak, and unto Ya'akov, by [the name of] EL Shaddai, but by my name YEHOVAH was I not known to them.
6:4 And I have also established MY Brit with them, to give them the eretz of Kenaan, the eretz of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
6:5 And I have also heard the groaning of the benai Yisrael, whom the Mitzrites keep in bondage; and I have Zakar MY Brit.
6:6 Wherefore say unto the benai Yisrael, ANI YHWH (יהוה), and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Mitzrites, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great Mishpatim:
6:7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a Elohim: and ye shall know that ANI YHWH (יהוה) your Elohim, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Mitzrites.
6:8 And I will bring you in unto the eretz, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Avraham, to Yitz'chak, and to Ya'akov; and I will give it you for an heritage: ANI YHWH (יהוה).
6:9 And Mosheh spake so unto the benai Yisrael: but they hearkened not unto Mosheh for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
6:10 And YHWH spake unto Mosheh, saying:
6:11 Go in, speak unto Paroh king of Mitzrayim, that he let the benai Yisrael go out of his eretz.
6:12 And Mosheh spake before YHWH (יהוה), saying, Behold, the benai Yisrael have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Paroh hear me, who [am] of uncircumcised lips?
6:13 And YHWH (יהוה) spake unto Mosheh and unto Aharon:
and gave them a charge unto the benai Yisrael, and unto Paroh king of Mitzrayim, to bring the benai Yisrael out of the eretz of Mitzrayim.
