Chapter 6 of Exodus—New American Standard Bible (NASB)

  1. ¶ Then the LORD said to Moses, “Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh; for [a]1under compulsion he will let them go, and [b]under compulsion he will drive them out of his land.”
  2. ¶ God spoke further to Moses and said to him, “I am 2the LORD;
  3. and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as [c]3God Almighty, but by 4My name, [d]LORD, I did not make Myself known to them.
  4. I also established 5My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the [e]land in which they sojourned.
  5. Furthermore I have 6heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, because the Egyptians are holding them in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant.
  6. Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, ‘7I am the LORD, and 8I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage. I will also 9redeem you with 10an outstretched arm and with great judgments.
  7. Then I will take you [f]11for My people, and 12I will be [g]your God; and 13you shall know that I am the LORD your God, who brought you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
  8. I will bring you to the land which 14I [h]swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and 15I will give it to you for a possession; 16I am the LORD.’”
  9. So Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, but they did not listen to Moses on 17account of their [i]despondency and cruel bondage.
  10. ¶ Now the LORD spoke to Moses, saying,
  11. “18Go, [j]tell Pharaoh king of Egypt [k]to let the sons of Israel go out of his land.”
  12. But Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, “Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me; 19how then will Pharaoh listen to me, for I am [l]20unskilled in speech?”
  13. Then the LORD spoke to Moses and to Aaron, and gave them a charge to the sons of Israel and to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the sons of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
  14. ¶ These are the heads of their fathers’ households. 21The sons of Reuben, Israel’s firstborn: Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi; these are the families of Reuben.
  15. The 22sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the families of Simeon.
  16. These are the names of 23the sons of Levi according to their generations: Gershon and Kohath and Merari; and the [m]length of Levi’s life was one hundred and thirty-seven years.
  17. 24The sons of Gershon: [n]Libni and Shimei, according to their families.
  18. 25The sons of Kohath: Amram and Izhar and Hebron and Uzziel; and the [o]length of Kohath’s life was one hundred and thirty-three years.
  19. 26The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their generations.
  20. 27Amram [p]married his father’s sister Jochebed, and she bore him Aaron and Moses; and the [q]length of Amram’s life was one hundred and thirty-seven years.
  21. 28The sons of Izhar: Korah and Nepheg and Zichri.
  22. 29The sons of Uzziel: Mishael and [r]Elzaphan and Sithri.
  23. Aaron [s]married Elisheba, the daughter of 30Amminadab, the sister of 31Nahshon, and she bore him 32Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar.
  24. The 33sons of Korah: Assir and Elkanah and [t]Abiasaph; these are the families of the Korahites.
  25. Aaron’s son 34Eleazar [u]married one of the daughters of Putiel, and she bore him 35Phinehas. These are the heads of the fathers’ households of the Levites according to their families.
  26. It was the same Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, “36Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their 37hosts.”
  27. They were the ones 38who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt [v]about bringing out the sons of Israel from Egypt; it was the same Moses and Aaron.
  28. ¶ Now it came about on the day when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,
  29. that the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “39I am the LORD; 40speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I speak to you.”
  30. But Moses said before the LORD, “Behold, I am [w]41unskilled in speech; how then will Pharaoh listen to me?”

    When i do read some comments and seeing that its the same people that are supposed to be called believers but are talking ill of other denominations, it hurts. Let us all remember that We should judge not

      The bible tells us to test the spirits. Satan disguises himself as angel of light. So yes some denomination are not teaching the truth. You are responsible for judging which ones are not. You have to judge the truth at all times. this is what the bible teaches

    The NWT is a very good translation. Dr. Jason David BeDuhn PhD attests to that in his book Truth in Translation. drive.google.com/...5p16melHzg8/view

      The NWT is Satanic filth to its very core.

      The JW Cult is Satanic to its very core.

      Praise Yahweh I will never be a victim of JW brainwashing. If I burn in Hell for eternity or I am ultimately annihilated so be it

      May Yahweh's curse rest on the Watchtower Society and its Satanic leadership

      NWT is a false translation that takes away from the deity of Jesus !

    Thank you for taking the time to provide this service. I like seeing the NASB on your web page in the same format as I read on paper. On other sites, the text area is smaller, and so I have to keep scrolling down to read and sometimes I lose the context. So I really appreciate the format.

    As far as the NWT, you are certainly free to do whatever you think best with your own web pages. I'd suggest that you make a note anytime you have a translation that is associated with only one denomination or church, for example:
    New World Translation (Jehovah's Witness version).

    In Jesus' parable of the wheat and the tares. the main idea seems to be that you can't easily distinguish between God's people and not-God's people on this earth, so our Lord's response is to wait until they are shown to be the kind of people they are inside. But the NWT seems like false teaching to me. So I think the warning passages from Jesus' apostles are more applicable, as in 2 Peter 3:15-16, when he talks about Paul's writings:
    "There are some things in them that are hard to understand, which the ignorant and unstable twist to their own destruction, as they do the other Scriptures."
    And we also have the positive exhortations, as in 2 Timothy 2:15:
    "Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth."

      Your suggestion regarding the denominational flagging is duly noted. But I can’t help but wonder, wouldn’t a Catholic also want “Protestant versions” marked as well?

      As for the parable, I’m pretty sure the slaves were convinced in their own minds that they could tell the tares from the wheat. After all, aren’t they the ones who identified the problem in the first place? But the master obviously thought otherwise.

      Furthermore, even at the time when Jesus himself was walking the earth, not everybody who claimed fellowship actually followed him causing John to inquire at Mark 9:39, “Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us.” But Jesus said, “Do not hinder him . . . for he who is not against us is for us.”

    Hello, question.. why have you included the NWT with other legitimate bible translations? Or why have you not atleast included a warning to readers? Don't you fear that someone could be influenced by the Watchtower's intentional heresies? Thank you.

      Please site these intentional heresies. I am well versed in the watch tower outline and agree they are in many ways incorrect but i also bet i can point many out from EVERY established or main denomination. There is much to learn from them all as one who drinks milk?

      Judge not lest ye be judged, that is not to pass judgement on you either brother.

      I debate with scripture. I don't hold it to be true that Michael is Y'Shua HaMeshiach but I also firmly hold it to be true that our G-d and Heavenly Father are not the word encarnate and only begotten son.

      I love not seeing "lord" which i relate to baal. I feel the catholic church is a satanic establishment and I am aware a freemason started the hovies but there are evil in high places and our fight is also with principalities.

      What i'm saying is that in my darkest hours, those two were some of if not the only ones who would bring a Bible and eucharist and pray with me.

      We all fall short of the glory of G-d.

      Don't forget the NWT was recognized as the most accurate translation on Jeopardy.

      Lastly, this is different I noted than the NWT i have read and am very familiar with. Pull up the watchtower page and compare. I truly look forward to getting this one!
