Exodus 6:6-9

New International Version

⁶ “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.^(A) I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem^(B) you with an outstretched arm^(C) and with mighty acts of judgment.^{(D) 7} I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God.^(E) Then you will know^(F) that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. ⁸ And I will bring you to the land^(G) I swore^(H) with uplifted hand^(I) to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob.^(J) I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.’”^(K)

⁹ Moses reported this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their discouragement and harsh labor.^(L)
