God promises to rescue the people

Exo 6:2–13

6:2 God promises to rescue the people

2Then God spoke to Mosheh again, “I am Yahweh[ref] 3and I revealed myself to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Yacob as El Shaddai (God the provider) but they didn’t know me by my name Yahweh. 4What’s more, I made an agreement with them: to give them the Canaan region—the area which they had been staying in. 5Furthermore, I’ve heard the complaints from the Israelis who have been enslaved by the Egyptians, and I have remembered my agreement. 6Therefore, tell the Israelis, ‘I am Yahweh and I will help you escape from the control of the Egyptians and rescue you from their slavery. I’ll buy you out of slavery using my power and by punishing the Egyptians for this injustice. 7I’ll take you all to be my own people, and I’ll be your God. Then you’ll know that I am Yahweh your God—the one rescuing you all from the Egyptian oppression. 8Then I’ll take you all to the land that I promised to give to Abraham, to Yitshak, and to Yacob, and I’ll give it to you as your own. I am Yahweh.’ ” 9So Mosheh passed all that on to the Israelis, but they wouldn’t listen to Mosheh, because they were both discouraged and worn out from the slavery.

10Then Yahweh told Mosheh, 11“Go and speak to the Egyptian king Far’oh and tell him that he needs to let the Israelis leave his country.” 12And Mosheh said in front of Yahweh, “Look, the Israelis haven’t listened to me, so why would Far’oh listen? And I have difficulty speaking.” 13Then Yahweh spoke to Mosheh and Aharon, and he gave them a command to pass on to the Israelis and to the Egyptian king Far’oh: to take the Israelis out of Egypt.

14“I AM WHO I AM,” God told Mosheh. “You’ll tell them this: ‘I AM sent me to you.’ ”[ref] 15Then he continued, “This is what you need to tell the Israelis: ‘Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, Yitshak, and Yacob, sent me to you.
