The Renewal of the Covenant

Then 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 said unto Mushah, "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."
6:2
And Alahiym spake unto Mushah, and said unto him, "I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄:
6:3
And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Yitzchaq, and unto Ya'aqob, by the name of El Shaddai, but by my name 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 was I not known to them.
6:4
And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Kena'an, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
6:5
And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Yashar'al, whom the Mitzrites keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
6:6
Wherefore say unto the children of Yashar'al, 'I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Mitzrites, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
6:7
And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you an Alahiym: and ye shall know that I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄 your Alahiym, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Mitzrites.
6:8
And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Yitzchaq, and to Ya'aqob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄.' "

And Mushah spake before 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄, saying, "Behold, the children of Yashar'al have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?"
