6 But the Lord replied to Moses, ‘Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: because of a strong hand he will let them go, and because of a strong hand he will drive them from his land.’(A)
God Promises Freedom
2 Then God spoke to Moses, telling him, ‘I am the Lord. 3 I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as God Almighty, but I was not known to them by my name ‘the Lord.’[a](B) 4 I also established my covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, the land they lived in as foreigners.(C) 5 Furthermore, I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are forcing to work as slaves, and I have remembered(D) my covenant.
6 ‘Therefore tell the Israelites: I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from the forced labour of the Egyptians and rescue you from slavery to them. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm(E) and great acts of judgement. 7 I will take you as my people,(F) and I will be your God. You will know(G) that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the forced labour of the Egyptians. 8 I will bring you to the land that I swore[b](H) to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.’ 9 Moses told this to the Israelites, but they did not listen(I) to him because of their broken spirit and hard labour.
10 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, 11 ‘Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites go from his land.’
12 But Moses said in the Lord’s presence, ‘If the Israelites will not listen to me, then how will Pharaoh listen to me, since I am such a poor speaker? ’[c](J) 13 Then the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them commands concerning both the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt to bring the Israelites out of the land of Egypt.

6 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh: Because of my mighty hand(A) he will let them go;(B) because of my mighty hand he will drive them out of his country.”(C)
2 God also said to Moses, “I am the Lord.(D) 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty,[a](E) but by my name(F) the Lord[b](G) I did not make myself fully known to them. 4 I also established my covenant(H) with them to give them the land(I) of Canaan, where they resided as foreigners.(J) 5 Moreover, I have heard the groaning(K) of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I have remembered my covenant.(L)
6 “Therefore, say to the Israelites: ‘I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.(M) I will free you from being slaves to them, and I will redeem(N) you with an outstretched arm(O) and with mighty acts of judgment.(P) 7 I will take you as my own people, and I will be your God.(Q) Then you will know(R) 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(S) I swore(T) with uplifted hand(U) to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob.(V) I will give it to you as a possession. I am the Lord.’”(W)

6 El Señor le respondió:
―Ahora verás lo que voy a hacer con el faraón. Realmente, solo por mi mano poderosa va a dejar que se vayan; solo por mi mano poderosa va a echarlos de su país.
2 En otra ocasión, Dios habló con Moisés y le dijo: «Yo soy el Señor. 3 Me aparecí a Abraham, a Isaac y a Jacob bajo el nombre de Dios Todopoderoso, pero no les revelé mi verdadero nombre, que es el Señor.[a] 4 También con ellos confirmé mi pacto de darles la tierra de Canaán, donde residieron como forasteros. 5 He oído además el gemir de los israelitas, a quienes los egipcios han esclavizado, y he recordado mi pacto. 6 Así que ve y diles a los israelitas: “Yo soy el Señor, y voy a quitaros de encima la opresión de los egipcios. Voy a libraros de su esclavitud; voy a liberaros con gran despliegue de poder y con grandes actos de justicia. 7 Haré de vosotros mi pueblo; y yo seré vuestro Dios. Así sabrán que yo soy el Señor vuestro Dios, que os libró de la opresión de los egipcios. 8 Y os llevaré a la tierra que bajo juramento prometí darles a Abraham, Isaac y Jacob. Yo, el Señor, os daré a vosotros posesión de ella”».
9 Moisés les dio a conocer esto a los israelitas, pero por su desánimo y las penurias de su esclavitud ellos no le hicieron caso. 10 Entonces el Señor habló con Moisés y le dijo:
11 ―Ve y habla con el faraón, el rey de Egipto. Dile que deje salir de su país a los israelitas.
12 Pero Moisés se enfrentó al Señor y le dijo:
―¿Y cómo va a hacerme caso el faraón, si ni siquiera los israelitas me creen? Además, no tengo facilidad de palabra.[b]
13 Entonces el Señor habló con Moisés y Aarón acerca de los israelitas y del faraón, rey egipcio, y les ordenó sacar de Egipto a los israelitas.
Antepasados de Moisés y de Aarón
14 Estos fueron los jefes de las familias patriarcales:
Los hijos de Rubén, primogénito de Israel: Janoc, Falú, Jezrón y Carmí. Estos fueron los clanes de Rubén.
15 Los hijos de Simeón: Jemuel, Jamín, Oad, Jaquín, Zojar y Saúl, hijo de la cananea. Estos fueron los clanes de Simeón.
16 Según los registros familiares, estos son los nombres de los hijos de Leví, quien vivió ciento treinta y siete años: Guersón, Coat y Merari.
17 Los hijos de Guersón, según sus clanes: Libní y Simí.
18 Los hijos de Coat, quien vivió ciento treinta y tres años: Amirán, Izar, Hebrón y Uziel.
19 Los hijos de Merari: Majlí y Musí.
Estos fueron los clanes de Leví, según sus registros familiares.
20 Amirán, que vivió ciento treinta y siete años, se casó con su tía Jocabed, la cual le dio dos hijos, Aarón y Moisés.
21 Los hijos de Izar: Coré, Néfeg y Zicrí.
22 Los hijos de Uziel: Misael, Elzafán y Sitri.
23 Aarón se casó con Elisabet, hija de Aminadab y hermana de Naasón, y ella le dio cuatro hijos: Nadab, Abiú, Eleazar e Itamar.
24 Los hijos de Coré: Asir, Elcaná y Abiasaf. Estos fueron los clanes de Coré.
25 Eleazar hijo de Aarón se casó con una de las hijas de Futiel, la cual le dio un hijo, Finés.
Estos fueron los jefes de los clanes levitas, en orden de familias.
26 Aarón y Moisés son los mismos a quienes el Señor mandó que sacaran de Egipto a los israelitas, ordenados en escuadrones. 27 Son ellos quienes hablaron con el faraón, rey egipcio, en cuanto a sacar de Egipto a los israelitas.
Aarón, portavoz de Moisés
28 Cuando el Señor habló con Moisés en Egipto, 29 le dijo:
―Yo soy el Señor. Habla con el faraón, rey de Egipto, y comunícale todo lo que yo te diga.
30 Pero Moisés respondió al Señor y le dijo:
―¿Y cómo va a hacerme caso el faraón, si yo no tengo facilidad de palabra?
