1. ANᴅ our Lord said to Moyses: Now thou shalt see what thinges I wil doe to Pharao: for
by a mightie hand shal he dismisse them, and in a strong hand shal he cast them out of his land.
2. And our Lord spake to Moyses, saying: I am the Lord
3. that appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Iacob, as God almightie: and my name Adonai
I did not shew them.
4. And I made a couenant with them, to geue them the Land of Chanaan, the land of their
pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
5. And I haue heard the groning of the children of Israel, wherwith the Ægyptians haue
oppressed them: and I haue remembred my couenant.
6. Therfore say to the children of Israel: I the Lord who wil bring you forth out of the
worke-prison of the Ægyptians, & wil deliuer you from seruitude: and redeme you in a high arme,
and great iudgements.
7. And I wil take you to me for my people, and I wil be your God: and you shal know that I
am the Lord your God, that brought you forth out of the worke-prison of the Ægyptians:
8. and brought you into the land, ouer which I lifted vp my hand to geue it to Abraham,
Isaac, and Iacob: and I wil geue it you to possesse, I the Lord.

of spirit, and most painful worke.

Israel out of his land.

how wil Pharao heare, especially wheras I am of vncircumcised lippes?

children of Israel, & vnto Pharao the king of Ægypt, that they should bring forth the children
of Israel out of the land of Ægypt.
