Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain. Psalm 127:1

2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord:
Today’s Reading
Exodus 6
I Will Redeem You
1 Then the Lord said
unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong
hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of
his land.
2 And God spake unto
Moses, and said unto him, I am the Lord: 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. 9 And Moses spake so unto the children of
Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel
bondage.
10 And the Lord
spake unto Moses, saying, 11 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he
let the children of Israel go out of his land. 12 And Moses spake before the
Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how
then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips? 13 And the Lord spake
unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel,
and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land
of Egypt.
