Expanded Bible

⁶ So tell the ·people [^Lsons; children] of Israel that I say to them, ‘I am the Lord. I will bring you out from the hard work the Egyptians force you to do. I will rescue you, so you will not be slaves to the Egyptians. I will ·free [redeem] you by my ·great power [^Loutstretched arm], and ·I will punish the Egyptians terribly [^Lwith great/mighty judgments]. ⁷ I will make you my own people, and I will be your God [^Cthe heart or essence of the covenant]. You will know that I am the Lord your God, the One who ·saves you [^Lbrought you out] from the hard work the Egyptians force you to do. ⁸ I will ·lead [bring] you to the land that I ·promised [swore; ^Llifted my hand to give; ^Cto take an oath] to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give you that land to own. I am the Lord.’”
