|
3 |

|
4 |
And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which 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 to the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with out-stretched 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, who bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians. -
|
8 |
And I will bring you into the land, concerning which I swore to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am the LORD. -
