God spoke further to Moses and said to him, "I am ^(C1)the LORD;

and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as ^(F1)(C1)God Almighty, but by ^(C2)My name, ^(F2)LORD, I did not make Myself known to them.

"I also established ^(C1)My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the ^(F1)land in which they lived as strangers.

"Furthermore I have ^(C1)heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, because the Egyptians are holding them in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant.

"Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, '^(C1)I am the LORD, and ^(C2)I will bring you out from under the labors of the Egyptians, and I will rescue you from their bondage. I will also ^(C3)redeem you with ^(C4)an outstretched arm, and with great judgments.

'Then I will take you ^(F1)(C1)as My people, and ^(C2)I will be ^(F2)your God; and ^(C3)you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the labors of the Egyptians.

'I will bring you to the land which ^(C1)I ^(F1)swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and ^(C2)I will give it to you as a possession; ^(C3)I am the LORD.'"
