2 ¶ God° spoke° further to Moses° and said° to him, “I am athe LORD°; 3 and I appeared° to Abraham°, Isaac°, and Jacob°, as IaGod° Almighty°, but [by] bMy name°, IILORD°, I did not make° Myself known° to them. 4 I also° established° aMy covenant° with them, to give° them the land° of Canaan°, the Iland° in which° they sojourned°. 5 Furthermore° I have aheard° the groaning° of the sons° of Israel°, because° the Egyptians° are holding° them in bondage°, and I have remembered° My covenant°. 6 Say°, therefore°, to the sons° of Israel°, ‘aI am the LORD°, and bI will bring° you out from under° the burdens° of the Egyptians°, and I will deliver° you from their bondage°. I will also credeem° you with dan outstretched° arm° and with great° judgments°. 7 Then I will take° you Iafor My people°, and bI will be IIyour God°; and cyou shall know° that I am the LORD° your God°, who brought° you out from under° the burdens° of the Egyptians°. 8 I will bring° you to the land° which° aI Iswore°° to give° to Abraham°, Isaac°, and Jacob°, and bI will give° it to you [for] a possession°; cI am the LORD°.’” 9 So Moses° spoke° thus° to the sons° of Israel°, but they did not listen° to Moses° on aaccount° of [their] Idespondency°° and cruel° bondage°.
