Exodus 6 - Moses Speak With Faltering Lips






Exodus 6:1-30 NIV










1Then The LORD Said To Moses, 



“Now you will see What I WILL DO To Pharaoh: 


Because of MY Mighty Hand he will let them go; 


because of MY Mighty Hand he will drive them out of 


his country.”




2GOD Also Said to Moses,



“I AM The LORD. 



3I Appeared To Abraham, To Isaac and To Jacob As GOD ALMIGHTY, But By MY Name The LORD I Did Not Make MYSELF Fully Known To them. 



4I Also Established MY Covenant with them to give them the land of Canaan, where they resided as foreigners. 









5Moreover, I Have Heard the groaning of the Israelites, 

whom the Egyptians are enslaving, and I Have 


Remembered MY Covenant.



6“Therefore, say to the Israelites: 



‘I AM The LORD, and 


I WILL Bring you Out from under the yoke of the 


Egyptians. I WILL Free you from being slaves to them, 


and I WILL Redeem you With an Outstretched Arm 


and with Mighty Acts of Judgment. 






7I WILL Take you as MY OWN people, and I WILL Be your GOD. Then you will know that I AM The LORD your GOD, WHO Brought you Out from under the yoke of the Egyptians. 



8And I WILL Bring you to the land I Swore With Uplifted Hand To Give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I WILL Give it to you as a possession. I AM The LORD.’ ”







9Moses reported this to the Israelites, but they did not listen to him because of their discouragement and harsh labor.



10Then The LORD Said To Moses, 




11 “Go, tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites 

go out of his country.”







12But Moses said To The LORD


“If the Israelites will not listen to me, why would 


Pharaoh listen to me, since I speak with faltering 

lips?”







Family Record of Moses and Aaron







13Now The LORD Spoke To Moses and Aaron about the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, and HE Commanded them to bring the Israelites out of Egypt.


14These were the heads of their families:


The sons of Reuben the firstborn son of Israel were Hanok and Pallu, Hezron and Karmi. These were the clans of Reuben.


15The sons of Simeon were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman. These were the clans of Simeon.


16These were the names of the sons of Levi according to their records: Gershon, Kohath and Merari. Levi lived 137 years.


17The sons of Gershon, by clans, were Libni and Shimei.


18The sons of Kohath were Amram, Izhar, Hebron and Uzziel. Kohath lived 133 years.

Aaron to Speak for Moses








28Now When The LORD Spoke to Moses in Egypt,

“I AM The LORD


Tell Pharaoh king of Egypt Everything I Tell you.”



30But Moses said To The LORD




“Since I speak with faltering lips, why would Pharaoh listen to me?”
