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.
