This paragraph continues from Exo 5 without a break.
1 And the LORD Yehovah said to Moses: “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for by a strong hand shall he let them go, and by a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.” {s}
2 And God Elohiym spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am the LORD Yehovah. 3 And I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty El Shaddai, but by My name the LORD I was not known to them. 4 And I have also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their sojournings, wherein they sojourned. 5 And 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 say to the children of Israel: ‘I am the LORD; and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. 7 I will take you for My people, and I will be your God, and you shall know that I am the LORD your God who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 And 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 the LORD.’” 9 And Moses spoke thus to the children of Israel; but they hearkened not to Moses, for impatience of spirit, and for cruel bondage. {p}
10 And the LORD Yehovah 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 And Moses spoke before the LORD, saying: “Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened to me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?” {p}
13 And the LORD Yehovah spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the children of Israel, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. {s}
14 These are the heads of their fathers’ houses: the sons of Reuben the first-born 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 Canaanitish woman. These are the families of Simeon. 16 And 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 a hundred thirty and seven years. 17 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, according to their families. 18 And the sons of Kohath: Amram, and Izhar, and Hebron, and Uzziel. And the years of the life of Kohath were a hundred thirty and three years. 19 And the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their generations. 20 And Amram took him Jochebed his father’s sister to wife; and she bore him Aaron and Moses. And the years of the life of Amram were a hundred and thirty and seven years. 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 him Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon, to wife; and she bore him 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 him one of the daughters of Putiel to wife; and she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers’ houses of the Levites according to their families. 26 These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD Yehovah said: ‘Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their hosts.’ 27 These are they that spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt. These are that Moses and Aaron. 28 And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt, {s}
29 That the LORD Yehovah spoke to Moses, saying: “I am the LORD; speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak to you.” 30 And Moses said before the LORD: “Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken to me?” {p}
