New King James Version
4 (A)I have also [a]established My covenant with them, (B)to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their [b]pilgrimage, (C)in which they were [c]strangers. 5 And (D)I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant. 6 Therefore say to the children of Israel: (E)‘I am the Lord; (F)I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will (G)rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with [d]an outstretched arm and with great judgments. 7 I will (H)take you as My people, and (I)I will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brings you out (J)from under the burdens of the Egyptians. 8 And I will bring you into the land which I (K)swore[e] to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the Lord.’ ”
