EXODUS
CHAPTER 6
1 And the LORD said unto Moses: 'Now shalt
thou see what I will do to Pharaoh; for by
a strong hand shall he let them go, and by
a strong hand shall he drive them out of
his land.'
וארא
2 And God spoke unto Moses, and said unto
him: 'I am the LORD; 3 and I appeared unto
Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as
God Almighty, but by My name a יהוה, I
made Me not known to them. 4 And I have
also established My covenant with them, to
give them the land of Canaan, the land of
their sojournings, wherein they sojourned.
5 And moreover I have heard the groaning
of the children of Israel, whom the
Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have
remembered My covenant. 6 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
deliver you from their bondage, and I will
redeem you with an outstretched arm, and
with great judgments; 7 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, who brought you out from
under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 And
I will bring you in unto the land,
concerning which I lifted up My hand to
give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to
Jacob; and I will give it you for a
heritage: I am the LORD.' 9 And Moses
spoke so unto the children of Israel; but
they hearkened not unto Moses for
impatience of spirit, and for cruel
bondage.
10 And the LORD spoke unto Moses, saying:
11 'Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of
Egypt, that he let the children of Israel
go out of his land.' 12 And Moses spoke
before the LORD, saying: 'Behold, the
children of Israel have p. 71 not
hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh
hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?'
13 And the LORD spoke unto Moses and unto
Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the
children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king
of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel
out of the land of Egypt.
4 These are the heads of their fathers’
houses: the sons of Reuben the firstborn
of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and
Carmi. These are the families of Reuben.
15 And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and
Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar,
and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman.
These are the families of Simeon. 16 And
these are the names of the sons of Levi
according to their generations: Gershon
and Kohath, and Merari. And the years of
the life of Levi were a hundred thirty and
seven years. 17 The sons of Gershon: Libni
and Shimei, according to their families.
18 And the sons of Kohath: Amram, and
Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel. And the
years of the life of Kohath were a hundred
thirty and three years. 19 And the sons of
Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the
families of the Levites according to their
generations. 20 And Amram took him
Jochebed his father's sister to wife; and
she bore him Aaron and Moses. And the
years of the life of Amram were a hundred
and thirty and seven years. 21 And the
sons of Izhar: Korah, and Nepheg, and
Zichri. 22 And the sons of Uzziel: Mishael,
and Elzaphan, and Sithri. 23 And Aaron
took him Elisheba, the daughter of
Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon, to wife;
and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar
and Ithamar. 24 And the sons of Korah:
Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these
are the families, of the Korahites. 25 And
Eleazar Aaron's son took him one of the
daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bore
him Phinehas. These are the heads of the
fathers’ houses of the Levites according
to their families. 26 These are that Aaron
and Moses, to whom the LORD said: 'Bring
out the children of Israel from the land
of Egypt according to their hosts.' 27
These are they that spoke to Pharaoh king
of Egypt, to bring out the children of
Israel from Egypt. These are that Moses
and Aaron. 28 And it came to pass on the
day when the LORD spoke unto Moses in the
land of Egypt, 29 that the LORD spoke unto
Moses, saying: 'I am the LORD; speak thou
unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I
speak unto thee.' 30 And Moses said before
the LORD: 'Behold, I am of uncircumcised
lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto
me?' |
