Shmot (Exodus) - Chapter 6

6:1 Mar-Yah said to Mosha, "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."

6:2 God spoke to Mosha, and said to him, "I am Mar-Yah; 6:3 and I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Ya'aqub, as God Almighty; but by my name Mar-Yah I was not known to them. 6:4 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. 6:5 Moreover I have heard the groaning of the B'nai Yisrael, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant. 6:6 Therefore tell the B'nai Yisrael, 'I am Mar-Yah, 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: 6:7 and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and you shall know that I am Mar-Yah your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 6:8 I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Ya'aqub; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am Mar-Yah.'"

6:9 Mosha spoke so to the B'nai Yisrael, but they did not listen to Mosha for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

6:10 Mar-Yah spoke to Mosha, saying, 6:11 "Go in, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the B'nai Yisrael go out of his land."

6:12 Mosha spoke before Mar-Yah, saying, "Behold, the B'nai Yisrael have not listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh listen to me, who am of uncircumcised lips?" 6:13 Mar-Yah spoke to Mosha and to Aaron, and gave them a command to the B'nai Yisrael, and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the B'nai Yisrael out of the land of Egypt.

6:14 These are the heads of their fathers' houses. The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Yisrael: Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben. 6:15 The sons of Simeon: Yemuel, and Yamin, and Ohad, and Yachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the families of Simeon. 6:16 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. 6:17 The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, according to their families. 6:18 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. 6:19 The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their generations. 6:20 Amram took Yochebed his father's sister to himself as wife; and she bore him Aaron and Mosha and Miriam: and the years of the life of Amram were a hundred and thirty-seven years. 6:21 The sons of Izhar: Korah, and Nepheg, and Zichri. 6:22 The sons of Uzziel: Mishael, and Elzaphan, and Sithri. 6:23 Aaron took Elisheba, the daughter of Amminadab, the sister of Nahshon, as his wife; and she bore him Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar. 6:24 The sons of Korah: Assir, and Elkanah, and Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites. 6:25 Eleazar Aaron's son took one of the daughters of Putiel as his wife; and she bore him Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites according to their families. 6:26 These are that Aaron and Mosha, to whom Mar-Yah said, "Bring out the B'nai Yisrael from the land of Egypt according to their armies." 6:27 These are those who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the B'nai Yisrael from Egypt. These are that Mosha and Aaron.

6:28 It happened on the day when Mar-Yah spoke to Mosha in the land of Egypt, 6:29 that Mar-Yah spoke to Mosha, saying, "I am Mar-Yah. Speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak to you." 6:30 Mosha said before Mar-Yah, "Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh listen to me?"
