|

land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers. |
|

Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant. |

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 you for
an heritage: I am the LORD. |

Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of

unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the
children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. |
