6 “Therefore say to the sons of Israel, ‘I am Jehovah, and I shall certainly bring YOU out from under the burdens of the Egyptians and deliver YOU from their slavery,+ and I shall indeed reclaim YOU with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.+

8 Thus Jehovah* let the heart of Pharʹaoh the king of Egypt become obstinate,+ and he went chasing after the sons of Israel, while the sons of Israel were going out with uplifted hand.+

6 For you are a holy people to Jehovah your God.+ It is you Jehovah your God has chosen to become his people, a special property, out of all the peoples that are on the surface of the ground.+
