Exodus 6

vayyomer Adonai el-mosheh attah tireh asher e'eseh lefaroh ki veyad khazaqah yeshallekhem uveyad khazaqah yegareshem me'artso

Then GOD said to Moses, “You shall soon see what I will do to Pharaoh: he shall let them go because of a greater might; indeed, because of a greater might he shall drive them from his land.”

vayedabber elohim el-mosheh vayyomer elayw ani Adonai

God spoke to Moses and said to him, “I am GOD.

va'era el-avraham el-yitskhaq ve'el-ya'aqov be'el shadday ushemi Adonai lo nodati lahem

I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as El Shaddai, but I did not make Myself known to them by My name GOD [יהוה].

vegam haqimoti et-beriti ittam latet lahem et-erets kena'an et erets megurehem asher-garu vah

I also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they lived as sojourners.

vegam ani shamati et-na'aqat bene yisra'el asher mitsrayim ma'avidim otam va'ezkor et-beriti

I have now heard the moaning of the Israelites because the Egyptians are holding them in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant.

lakhen emor livne-yisra'el ani Adonai vehotseti etkhem mittakhat sivlot mitsrayim vehitsalti etkhem me'avodatam vega'alti etkhem bizroa netuyah uvishfatim gedolim

Say, therefore, to the Israelite people: I am GOD. I will free you from the labors of the Egyptians and deliver you from their bondage. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and through extraordinary chastisements.

velaqakhti etkhem li le'am vehayiti lakhem lelohim vidatem ki ani Adonai elohekhem hammotsi etkhem mittakhat sivlot mitsrayim

And I will take you to be My people, and I will be your God. And you shall know that I, the ETERNAL, am your God who freed you from the labors of the Egyptians.

veheveti etkhem el-ha'arets asher nasati et-yadi latet otah le'avraham leyitskhaq uleya'aqov venatatti otah lakhem morashah ani Adonai

I will bring you into the land that I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give it to you for a possession, I GOD.”

vayedabber mosheh ken el-bene yisra'el velo shame'u el-mosheh miqqotser ruakh ume'avodah qashah

But when Moses told this to the Israelites, they would not listen to Moses, their spirits crushed by cruel bondage.

vayedabber Adonai el-mosheh lemor

GOD spoke to Moses, saying,

bo dabber el-paroh melekh mitsrayim vishallakh et-bene-yisra'el me'artso

“Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites depart from his land.”

vayedabber mosheh lifne Adonai lemor hen bene-yisra'el lo-shame'u elay ve'ekh yishma'eni faroh va'ani aral sefatayim

But Moses appealed to GOD, saying, “The Israelites would not listen to me; how then should Pharaoh heed me, me—who gets tongue-tied!”

vayedabber Adonai el-mosheh ve'el-aharon vayetsavvem el-bene yisra'el ve'el-paroh melekh mitsrayim lehotsi et-bene-yisra'el me'erets mitsrayim

So GOD spoke to both Moses and Aaron in regard to the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, instructing them to deliver the Israelites from the land of Egypt.
