⁶ Therefore say to the children of Israel: ^(A)‘I am the Lord; ^(B)I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will ^(C)rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with ^[a]an outstretched arm and with great judgments. ⁷ I will ^(D)take you as My people, and ^(E)I will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brings you out ^(F)from under the burdens of the Egyptians. ⁸ And I will bring you into the land which I ^(G)swore^[b] to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the Lord.’ ”

⁶ “For you are a ^[a]holy people to the Lord your God; ^(A)the Lord your God has chosen you to be a people for Himself, a special treasure above all the peoples on the face of the earth.
