1 耶和华对摩西说： "你现在必看见我要向法老行的事； 因为我施展大能的手， 他必让他们离去； 我施展大能的手， 他必把他们从自己的地赶出去。" 2 神告诉摩西说： "我是耶和华。 3 我曾向亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各显现为全能的 神， 至于我的名字‘耶和华’， 他们是不认识的。 4 我不但与他们确立了我的约， 要把迦南地， 就是他们作客寄居之地赐给他们； 5 而且我也听见了以色列人因埃及人所加的奴役而发的哀声， 就记念我的约。 6 所以， 你要对以色列人说： ‘我是耶和华， 我要把你们从埃及人的重担底下救出来； 我要拯救你们脱离他们的奴役； 我要用伸出来的膀臂， 并借着严厉的刑罚来救赎你们。 7 我要以你们作我的人民， 我也要作你们的 神； 你们要知道我是耶和华你们的 神， 是把你们从埃及人的重担底下救出来的。 8 我举手起誓要给亚伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的地， 我必领你们进去； 我也必把那地赐给你们作产业； 我是耶和华。’" 9 摩西这样告诉以色列人， 只是他们因为心里愁烦和苦工的缘故， 就不肯听摩西的话。 10 耶和华告诉摩西说： 11 "你要告诉埃及王法老， 叫他让以色列人离开他的地。" 12 摩西在耶和华面前说： "看哪， 以色列人尚且不肯听我的话， 法老又怎会听我的话呢？因为我是个拙口笨舌的人。" 13 耶和华吩咐摩西和亚伦， 命令他们到以色列人和埃及王法老那里去， 把以色列人从埃及地领出来。 14 他们各家族首领的名字记在下面： 以色列的长子流本的儿子是哈诺、法路、希斯伦、迦米； 这些是流本的各家族。 15 西缅的儿子是耶母利、雅悯、阿辖、雅斤、琐辖和迦南女子的儿子扫罗； 这些是西缅的各家族。 16 利未众子的名字按着他们的世代记在下面， 就是革顺、哥辖、米拉利。利未一生的岁数是一百三十七岁。 17 革顺的儿子， 按着他们的家族， 是立尼、示每。 18 哥辖的儿子是暗兰、以斯哈、希伯伦、乌薛。哥辖一生的岁数是一百三十三岁。 19 米拉利的儿子是抹利和母示。按着他们的世代， 这些是利未的家族。 20 暗兰娶了自己的姑母约基别为妻； 约基别给他生了亚伦和摩西； 暗兰一生的岁数是一百三十七岁。 21 以斯哈的儿子是可拉、尼斐、细基利。 22 乌薛的儿子是米沙利、以利撒反、西提利。 23 亚伦娶了亚米拿达的女儿拿顺的妹妹以利沙巴作妻子； 她给亚伦生了拿答、亚比户、以利亚撒、以他玛。 24 可拉的儿子是亚惜、以利加拿、亚比亚撒； 这些是可拉的各家族。 25 亚伦的儿子以利亚撒娶了普铁的一个女儿为妻； 她给以利亚撒生了非尼哈。按照他们的家族， 这些就是利未人的各首领。 26 这亚伦和摩西， 耶和华曾经对他们说过： "你们要按着他们的军队， 把以色列人从埃及地领出来。" 27 那对埃及王法老说要把以色列人从埃及领出来的， 就是这摩西和亚伦。 28 耶和华在埃及地对摩西说话的日子， 29 耶和华告诉摩西说： "我是耶和华， 你要把我对你所说的一切话都告诉埃及王法老。" 30 摩西在耶和华面前说： "你看， 我是个拙口笨舌的人， 法老怎肯听我呢？"

1 And Jehovah saith unto Moses, `Now dost thou see that which I do to Pharaoh, for with a strong hand he doth send them away, yea, with a strong hand he doth cast them out of his land.`2 And God speaketh unto Moses, and saith unto him, `I [am] Jehovah,3 and I appear unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty; as to My name Jehovah, I have not been known to them;4 and also I have established My covenant with them, to give to them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings, wherein they have sojourned;5 and also I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, whom the Egyptians are causing to serve, and I remember My covenant.6 `Therefore say to the sons of Israel, I [am] Jehovah, and I have brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and have delivered you from their service, and have redeemed you by a stretched-out arm, and by great judgments,7 and have taken you to Me for a people, and I have been to you for God, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah your God, who is bringing you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians;8 and I have brought you in unto the land which I have lifted up My hand to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, and have given it to you -- a possession; I [am] Jehovah.`9 And Moses speaketh so unto the sons of Israel, and they hearkened not unto Moses, for anguish of spirit, and for harsh service.10 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying,11 `Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he doth send the sons of Israel out of his land;12 and Moses speaketh before Jehovah, saying, `Lo, the sons of Israel have not hearkened unto me, and how doth Pharaoh hear me, and I of uncircumcised lips?`13 And Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, and unto Aaron, and chargeth them for the sons of Israel, and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt.14 These [are] heads of the house of their fathers: Sons of Reuben first-born of Israel [are] Hanoch, and Phallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these [are] families of Reuben.15 And sons of Simeon [are] Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul, son of the Canaanitess: these [are] families of Simeon.16 And these [are] the names of the sons of Levi, as to their births: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari: and the years of the life of Levi [are] a hundred and thirty and seven years.17 The sons of Gershon [are] Libni, and Shimi, as to their families.18 And the sons of Kohath [are] Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel: and the years of the life of Kohath [are] a hundred and thirty and three years.19 And the sons of Merari [are] Mahli and Mushi: these [are] families of Levi, as to their births.20 And Amram taketh Jochebed his aunt to himself for a wife, and she beareth to him Aaron and Moses: and the years of the life of Amram [are] a hundred and thirty and seven years.21 And sons of Izhar [are] Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri.22 And sons of Uzziel [are] Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Sithri.23 And Aaron taketh Elisheba daughter of Amminadab, sister of Naashon, to himself for a wife, and she beareth to him Nadab, and Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.24 And sons of Korah [are] Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph: these [are] families of the Korhite.25 And Eleazar, Aaron`s son, hath taken to him [one] of the daughters of Putiel for a wife to himself, and she beareth to him Phinehas: these [are] heads of the fathers of the Levites, as to their families.26 This [is] Aaron -- and Moses -- to whom Jehovah said, `Bring ye out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt, by their hosts;`27 these are they who are speaking unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the sons of Israel from Egypt, this [is] Moses -- and Aaron.28 And it cometh to pass in the day of Jehovah`s speaking unto Moses in the land of Egypt,29 that Jehovah speaketh unto Moses, saying, `I [am] Jehovah, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I am speaking unto thee.`30 And Moses saith before Jehovah, `Lo, I [am] of uncircumcised lips, and how doth Pharaoh hearken unto me?`
