Exodus 6:4-6

Expanded Bible

⁴ I also ·made [established] my ·agreement [covenant; treaty; ^Cthe covenant with Abraham; Gen. 12:1–3] with them to give them the land of Canaan. They ·lived in that land, but it was not their own [^Lsojourned; wandered as aliens]. ⁵ Now I have heard the ·cries [groans; moans] of the ·Israelites [^Lsons of Israel], whom the Egyptians are treating as slaves, and I remember my ·agreement [covenant]. ⁶ So tell the ·people [^Lsons; children] of Israel that I say to them, ‘I am the Lord. I will bring you out from the hard work the Egyptians force you to do. I will rescue you, so you will not be slaves to the Egyptians. I will ·free [redeem] you by my ·great power [^Loutstretched arm], and ·I will punish the Egyptians terribly [^Lwith great/mighty judgments].
