| 1 | And the Lord said to Moses: Now thou shalt see what I will do to Pharao: for by a mighty hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he cast them out of his land. |
| 2 | And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: I am the Lord, |
| 3 | That appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of God Almighty; and my name ADONAI I did not shew them. |
| 4 | And I made a covenant with them, to give them the land of Chanaan, the land of their pilgrimage wherein they were strangers. |
| 5 | I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, wherewith the Egyptians have oppressed them: and I have remembered my covenant. |
| 6 | Therefore say to the children of Israel: I am the Lord who will bring you out from the work prison of the Egyptians, and will deliver you from bondage: and redeem you with a high arm, and great judgments. |
| 7 | And I will take you to myself for my people, I will be your God: and you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brought you out from the work prison of the Egyptians. |
| 8 | And brought you into the land, concerning which I lifted up my hand to give it to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and I will give it you to possess, I am the Lord. |
| 9 | And Moses told all this to the children of Israel: but they did not hearken to him, for anguish of spirit, and most painful work. |
| 10 | And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: |
| 11 | Go in, and speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. |
| 12 | Moses answered before the Lord Behold the children of Israel do no hearken to me; and how will Pharao hear me, especially as I am of uncircumcised lips? |
| 13 | And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and he gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharao the king of Egypt, that they should bring forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. |

| 28 | In the day when the Lord spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt. |
| 29 | And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying: I am the Lord: speak thou to Pharao king of Egypt all that I say to thee. |
| 30 | And Moses said before the Lord: Lo I am of uncircumcised lips, how will Pharao hear me? |
