Glancing Through the Scriptures!

(KJV.)  EXODUS 6:1-8

Deliverance promised.

(1)  THEN THE LORD said unto  Moses:  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.

(2)  And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him:  I am the LORD.

(3)  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.

(4)  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.

(5)  And I have also 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 rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out 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, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

(8)  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 to you for an heritage:  I am the LORD.
