1 Verder het God met Moses gespreek en vir hom gesê: Ek is die HERE.

2 En Ek het aan Abraham, aan Isak en aan Jakob verskyn as God, die Almagtige, maar met my Naam HERE het Ek My nie aan hulle bekend gemaak nie.

3 Ook het Ek my verbond met hulle opgerig om hulle die land Kana„n te gee, die land van hulle vreemdelingskap waarin hulle vertoef het;

4 en k het ook gehoor die gekerm van die kinders van Israel wat deur die Egiptenaars in slawerny gehou word, en Ek het aan my verbond gedink.

5 Daarom, sê aan die kinders van Israel: Ek is die HERE, en Ek sal julle onder die harde arbeid van die Egiptenaars uitlei en julle red uit hulle slawerny, en Ek sal julle verlos deur 'n uitgestrekte arm en deur groot strafgerigte;

6 en Ek sal julle as my volk aanneem en vir julle 'n God wees. En julle sal erken dat Ek die HERE julle God is wat julle uitlei onder die harde arbeid van die Egiptenaars uit.

7 En Ek sal julle bring in die land waaromtrent Ek my hand opgehef het, om dit aan Abraham, aan Isak en aan Jakob te gee; en Ek sal dit aan julle as 'n besitting gee, Ek, die HERE.

8 Moses het toe so met die kinders van Israel gespreek, maar hulle het nie na Moses geluister nie, uit ongeduldigheid en weens die harde diens.

9 Verder het die HERE met Moses gespreek en gesê:

10 Gaan spreek met Farao, die koning van Egipte, dat hy die kinders van Israel uit sy land moet laat uittrek.

11 Maar Moses het voor die aangesig van die HERE gespreek en gesê: As die kinders van Israel na my nie geluister het nie, hoe sal Farao dan na my luister terwyl ek onbesnede van lippe is?

12 Daarop het die HERE met Moses en A„ron gespreek en hulle met 'n boodskap gestuur na die kinders van Israel en na Farao, die koning van Egipte, om die kinders van Israel uit Egipteland uit te lei.

13 Dit is die hoofde van hulle families. Die seuns van Ruben, die eersgeborene van Israel: Henog en Pallu, Hesron en Karmi; dit is die geslagte van Ruben.

14 En die seuns van S¡meon: J,muel en Jamin en Ohad en Jagin en Sohar en Saul, die seun van die Kana„nitiese vrou; dit is die geslagte van S¡meon.

15 En dit is die name van die seuns van Levi volgens hulle afstamming: Gerson en Kehat en Mer ri. En die lewensjare van Levi was honderd sewe en dertig jaar.

16 Die seuns van Gerson: Libni en S¡me‹volgens hulle geslagte.

17 En die seuns van Kehat: Amram en Jishar en Hebron en Ussiël; en die lewensjare van Kehat was honderd drie en dertig jaar.

18 En die seuns van Mer ri: Magli en Musi. Dit is die geslagte van Levi volgens hulle afstamming.

19 En Amram het Jog,bed, sy tante, vir hom as vrou geneem, en sy het vir hom A„ron en Moses gebaar. En die lewensjare van Amram was honderd sewe en dertig jaar.

20 En die seuns van Jishar: Korag en Nefeg en Sigri.

21 En die seuns van Ussiël: M¡sael, lsafan en Sitri.

22 En A„ron het Elis,ba, die dogter van Amm¡nadab, die suster van Nagson, vir hom as vrou geneem; en sy het vir hom gebaar: Nadab en Ab¡hu, Ele sar en Itamar.

23 En die seuns van Korag: Assir en lkana en Ab¡asaf. Dit is die geslagte van die Koragiete.

24 En Ele sar, die seun van A„ron, het vir hom een van die dogters van Putiël as vrou geneem; en sy het vir hom P¡nehas gebaar. Dit is die familie-hoofde van die Leviete volgens hulle geslagte.

25 Dit is A„ron en Moses aan wie die HERE gesê het: Lei die kinders van Israel uit Egipteland volgens hulle leërskare.

26 Dit is hulle wat met Farao, die koning van Egipte, gespreek het om die kinders van Israel uit Egipte uit te lei. Dit is Moses en A„ron.

27 Die dag toe die HERE met Moses gespreek het in Egipteland,

28 het die HERE Moses aangespreek met die woorde: Ek is die HERE. Sê aan Farao, die koning van Egipte, alles wat Ek met jou spreek.

29 Toe sê Moses voor die aangesig van die HERE: Ek is onbesnede van lippe! Hoe sal Farao dan na my luister?

1 And the Lord said to Moses, Now you will see what I am about to do to Pharaoh; for by a strong hand he will be forced to let them go, driving them out of his land because of my outstretched arm.

2 And God said to Moses, I am Yahweh:

3 I let myself be seen by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God, the Ruler of all; but they had no knowledge of my name Yahweh.

4 And I made an agreement with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their wanderings.

5 And truly my ears are open to the cry of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep under their yoke; and I have kept in mind my agreement.

6 Say then to the children of Israel, I am Yahweh, and I will take you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians, and make you safe from their power, and will make you free by the strength of my arm after great punishments.

7 And I will take you to be my people and I will be your God; and you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, who takes you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians.

8 And I will be your guide into the land which I made an oath to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for your heritage: I am Yahweh.

9 And Moses said these words to the children of Israel, but they gave no attention to him, because of the grief of their spirit and the cruel weight of their work.

10 And the Lord said to Moses,

11 Go in and say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he is to let the children of Israel go out of his land.

12 And Moses, answering the Lord, said, See, the children of Israel will not give ear to me; how then will Pharaoh give ear to me, whose lips are unclean?

13 And the word of the Lord came to Moses and Aaron, with orders for the children of Israel and for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

14 These are the heads of their fathers' families: the sons of Reuben the oldest son of Israel: Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi: these are the families of Reuben.

15 And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul, the son of a woman of Canaan: these are the families of Simeon.

16 And these are the names of the sons of Levi in the order of their generations: Gershon and Kohath and Merari: and the years of Levi's life were a hundred and thirty-seven.

17 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, in the order of their families.

18 And the sons of Kohath: Amram and Izhar and Hebron and Uzziel: and the years of Kohath's life were a hundred and thirty-three.

19 And the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi: these are the families of the Levites, in the order of their generations.

20 And Amram took Jochebed, his father's sister, as wife; and she gave birth to Aaron and Moses: and the years of Amram's life were a hundred and thirty-seven.

21 And the sons of Izhar: Korah and Nepheg and Zichri.

22 And the sons of Uzziel: Mishael and Elzaphan and Sithri.

23 And Aaron took as his wife Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon; and she gave birth to Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.

24 And the sons of Korah: Assir and Elkanah and Abiasaph: these are the families of the Korahites.

25 And Eleazar, Aaron's son, took as his wife one of the daughters of Putiel; and she gave birth to Phinehas. These are the heads of the families of the Levites, in the order of their families.

26 These are the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, Take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt in their armies.

27 These are the men who gave orders to Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of Egypt: these are the same Moses and Aaron.

28 And on the day when the word of the Lord came to Moses in the land of Egypt,

29 The Lord said to Moses, I am the Lord: say to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, everything I am saying to you.

30 And Moses said to the Lord, My lips are unclean; how is it possible that Pharaoh will give me a hearing?
