5. Moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.

6. Therefore tell the children of Israel, 'I am יהוה, 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:

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 יהוה your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

8. I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham , to Isaac , and to Jacob ; and I will give it to you for a heritage: I am יהוה.'"
