1 Yahweh said to Moses, "Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh, for by a strong hand he shall let them go, and by a strong hand he shall drive them out of his land."
2 God spoke to Moses, and said to him, "I am Yahweh. 3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Yahweh I was not known to them. 4 I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their travels, in which they lived as aliens. 5 Moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant. 6 Therefore tell the children of Israel, ‘I am Yahweh, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments. 7 I will take you to myself for a people. I will be your God; and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am Yahweh.’"
9 Moses spoke so to the children of Israel, but they didn’t listen to Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
10 Yahweh spoke to Moses, saying, 11 "Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land."
12 Moses spoke before Yahweh, saying, "Behold, the children of Israel haven’t listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, when I have uncircumcised lips?" 13 Yahweh spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a command to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
14 These are the heads of their fathers’ houses. The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben. 15 The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the families of Simeon. 16 These are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon, and Kohath, and Merari; and the years of the life of Levi were one hundred thirty-seven years. 17 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, according to their families. 18 The sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel; and the years of the life of Kohath were one hundred thirty-three years. 19 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi.

These are the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites according to their families. 26 These are that Aaron and Moses to whom Yahweh said, "Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies." 27 These are those who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt. These are that Moses and Aaron.
28 On the day when Yahweh spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, 29 Yahweh said to Moses, "I am Yahweh. Tell Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I tell you."
30 Moses said before Yahweh, "Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh listen to me?"
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：

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。
