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.
2. And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am JEHOVAH:
3. and I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH I was 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.
