3 And I appeared unto Abraham , unto Isaac , and unto Jacob , by the name of God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah was I not known to them.

4 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan , the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.

5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel , whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.

6 Wherefore say unto the children of Israel , I am the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:

7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham , to Isaac , and to Jacob ; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the Lord.
