Moreover I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered my covenant.
6 “Enti ka kyerɛ Israelfo no se, ‘Me, Awurade, menam me tumi so bɛyɛ anwonwade de ayi wɔn afi nkoasom mu ama wɔade wɔn ho.
Therefore tell 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 an outstretched arm, and with great judgments.
7 Megye wɔn ato mu sɛ me nkurɔfo na mayɛ wɔn Nyankopɔn. Na wobehu sɛ mene Awurade, wɔn Nyankopɔn a wagye wɔn afi Misraimfo nsam no.
I will take you to myself for a people. I will be your God; and you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who brings you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

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 the LORD.’”
