3 I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as God Almighty; but by my name Yahweh I was not known to them.

4 I 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.

5 Moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.
我也聽見以色列人被埃及人苦待的哀聲,我也記念我的約。
6 Therefore tell the children of Israel, ‘I am Yahweh, 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 an outstretched arm, and with great judgments.
所以你要對以色列人說:『我是耶和華;我要用伸出來的膀臂重重地刑罰埃及人,救贖你們脫離他們的重擔,不做他們的苦工。
7 I will take you to myself for a people. I will be your God; and you shall know that I am Yahweh your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
我要以你們為我的百姓,我也要作你們的上帝。你們要知道我是耶和華-你們的上帝,是救你們脫離埃及人之重擔的。
8 I 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 Yahweh.’”
我起誓應許給亞伯拉罕、以撒、雅各的那地,我要把你們領進去,將那地賜給你們為業。我是耶和華。』」
