1 Then the LORD said
unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a
strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive
them out of his land.
2 And God spake
unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:
3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto
Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name
JEHOVAH was I 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
pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
5 And I have also heard the groaning
of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have
remembered my covenant.
6 Wherefore say unto the children of
Israel, I am the LORD, 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 a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
7 And I will take you to me for a
people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the
LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the
Egyptians.
8 And I will bring you in unto the
land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac,
and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the
LORD.
9 And Moses spake so unto the
children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of
spirit, and for cruel bondage.
10 And the LORD spake
unto Moses, saying,
11 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of
Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
12 And Moses spake before the LORD,
saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how
then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?
13 And the LORD spake unto Moses and
unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto
Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of
Egypt.

26 These are that Aaron and
Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the
land of Egypt according to their armies.
27 These are they which spake
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 spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,
29 That the LORD spake unto Moses,
saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all
that I say unto thee.

Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken
unto me?
