⁴I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their travels, in which they lived as aliens.

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

⁶Therefore tell the children of Israel, 'I am ForeverOne, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their slavery, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments: ⁷and I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God; and you shall know that I am ForeverOne your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

⁸I 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 ForeverOne.'" ⁹Moses spoke so to the children of Israel, but they didn't listen to Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel slavery.
