{Lorde} {|LORDE|} and said: Lord {|LORDE|} wherefore dealest thou
cruelly with this people: and wherefore hast thou sent me? For since I
came to Pharao to speak in thy name, he hath fared foul with this folk,
and yet thou hast not delivered thy people at all;
Chapter .vi.
Then the LORD said unto Moses. Now shalt thou see what I will do unto
Pharao, for with a mighty hand shall he let them go, and with a mighty
hand shall he drive them out of his land. And God spake unto Moses
saying unto him: I am the LORD, and I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac and
Iacob an almighty God: but in my name Iehouah was I not known unto
them. Moreover I made an appointment with them to give them the land of
Canaa: the land of their pilgrimage wherein they were strangers. And I
have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, because the
Egyptians keep them in bondage, and have remembered my promise.
Wherefore say unto the children of Israel: I am the LORD, and will
bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and will rid you
out of their bondage, and will deliver you with a stretched out arm and
with great judgements. And I will take you for my people and will be to
you a God. And ye shall know that I am the LORD your God which brings
you out from under the burthens of the Egyptians. And I will bring you
unto the land over the which I did lift up my hand to give it unto
Abraham, Isaac and Iacob, and will give it unto you for a possession:
even I the LORD. And Moses told the children of Israel even so: But
they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit and for cruel
bondage. And the LORD spake unto Moses saying: Go and bid Pharao king
of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land. And
Moses spake before the LORD saying: behold, the children of Israel
hearken not unto me, how then shall Pharao hear me: seeing that I have
uncircumcised lips. And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron and gave
them a charge unto the children of Israel and unto Pharao king of
Egypt: to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt. These
