1 Then the Lord said to Moses, Now thou shalt see what I will do to Pharao; for by a strong hand he shall let them go; and by an uplifted arm he shall drive them out of his land.
2 Moreover God spake to Moses and said to him, I am the Lord;
3 and I appeared to Abraham and to Isaak and to Jacob as their God. Though I did not clearly manifest to them my name Lord,
4 yet I established this my covenant with them to give them the land of the Chananites; the land wherein they had sojourned; in which they were then sojourning.
5 Now I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, which the Egyptians have occasioned by enslaving them. And I have remembered the covenant with you.
6 Go speak to the children of Israel and say, I am the Lord and I will bring you out from the bondage of the Egyptians, and deliver you from this slavery, and redeem you with an uplifted arm and with great decision
7 and take you to myself for my own people, and I will be your God. And you shall know that I the Lord am your God, who brought you out from the tyranny of the Egyptians.
8 And I will bring you to the land for which I stretched out my hand to give it to Abraham and Isaak and Jacob. And I will give it to you for a heritage. I am the Lord.

10 Then the Lord spoke to Moses saying;
11 Go in; speak to Pharao king of Egypt that he may send the children of Israel out of his land.
12 Upon which Moses spoke before the Lord saying, Behold the Israelites have not hearkened to me, how then should Pharao hearken to me, incapable as I am of speaking?
13 Now when the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron and gave them a charge to Pharao king of Egypt to send away the Israelites out of the land of Egypt,
14 these were the chief leaders of their patriarchal houses. The sons of Reuben the first born of Israel, Enoch and Phallus, Asron and Carmi. This was the family of Reuben.
