Adonoy said to Moshe, “Now you will see what I will do to Pharaoh, for by [My] strong hand he will let them go, and by [a] strong hand, he will drive them out of his land.”

Elohim spoke to Moshe and said to him, “I am Adonoy.

I revealed Myself to Avraham, to Yitzchok, and to Yaakov as Almighty Shaddai, but My Name Adonoy I did not make known to them.

I also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojourning where they lived as strangers.

And also [before Me] I have heard the groaning of the B’nei Yisrael, that the Egyptians are enslaving them, [has been heard before Me] and I have remembered My covenant.

Therefore say to the B’nei Yisrael, ‘I am Adonoy. I will bring you out from under [amongst] the [heavy] burdens of Egypt [the Egyptians], and I will save you from their slavery. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with acts of great judgments.

I will take [bring] you to Myself [before Me] as a people, and I will be to you Elohim. You will know that I am Adonoy, your God Who is bringing you out from under [amongst] the [heavy] burdens of Egypt.

I will bring you to the land regarding which I raised My hand [in oath] [swore with My Word] that I would give it to Avraham, Yitzchok and Yaakov, and I will give it to you as an inheritance. I am Adonoy.’”

Moshe spoke [these words] to the B’nei Yisrael, but they would not listen to [obey] Moshe because of [their] shortness of wind and [the] hard labor [that was hard upon them].

Adonoy spoke to Moshe saying,

“Come, speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, that he send the B’nei Yisrael out of his land.”

Moshe spoke before Adonoy, saying, “Behold the B’nei Yisrael have not listened to [obeyed] me, how then will Pharaoh listen to [accept] me—I whose lips are covered [am heavy of speech].”

Adonoy [then] spoke to Moshe and Aharon, commanding them regarding the B’nei Yisrael and Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to bring out the B’nei Yisrael from the land of Egypt.
