Exodus 6 · Scripture · Fisherman's Friend

1

And the Lord said to Moses, Now thou shalt see what I will do to Pharao; for he shall send them forth with a mighty hand, and with a high arm shall he cast them out of his land.

ΚΑΙ εἶπε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν· ἤδη ὄψει ἃ ποιήσω τῷ Φαραώ· ἐν γὰρ χειρὶ κραταιᾷ ἐξαποστελεῖ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ ἐκβαλεῖ αὐτοὺς ἐκ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ.

И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю: сѐ, ᲂу҆́зриши, что̀ сотворю̀ фараѡ́нꙋ: рꙋко́ю бо крѣ́пкою ѿпꙋ́ститъ и҆̀хъ и҆ мы́шцею высо́кою и҆зжене́тъ и҆̀хъ ѿ землѝ своеѧ̀.

2

And God spoke to Moses and said to him, I [am] the Lord.

᾿Ελάλησε δὲ ὁ Θεὸς πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτόν· ἐγὼ Κύριος·

Гл҃а же бг҃ъ къ мѡѷсе́ю и҆ речѐ є҆мꙋ̀: а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь,

3

And I appeared to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, being their God, but I did not manifest to them my name Lord.

καὶ ὤφθην πρὸς ῾Αβραὰμ καὶ ᾿Ισαὰκ καὶ ᾿Ιακώβ, Θεὸς ὢν αὐτῶν, καὶ τὸ ὄνομά μου Κύριος οὐκ ἐδήλωσα αὐτοῖς·

и҆ ꙗ҆ви́хсѧ а҆враа́мꙋ, и҆ і҆саа́кꙋ, и҆ і҆а́кѡвꙋ, бг҃ъ сы́й и҆́хъ, и҆ и҆́мене моегѡ̀ гдⷭ҇ь не ꙗ҆ви́хъ и҆̀мъ:

Eusebius of Caesarea †339

It will naturally be asked how he that is beyond the universe, himself the only almighty God, appeared to the fathers. And the answer will be found if we realize the accuracy of Holy Scripture. For the Septuagint rendering, “I was seen of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, being their God,” Aquila says, “And I was seen by Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as a sufficient God,” clearly showing that the almighty God himself, who is one, was not seen in his own person and that he did not give answers to the fathers, as he did to Moses by an angel, or a fire or a bush, but “as a sufficient God.” Thus the Father was seen by the fathers through the Son, according to his saying in the Gospels, “He that has seen me has seen the Father.” For the knowledge of the Father was revealed in him and by him. But in cases when he appeared to save men, he was seen in the human form of the Son, giving an earnest before the time to the godly of that salvation which should come through him to all men. But when he was going to be the avenger and chastiser of the wicked Egyptians, he appeared no longer as a sufficient God but as an angel ministering punishment, and in form of fire and flame, ready at once to devour them like wild and thorny undergrowth. So they say that the bush darkly refers to the wild, savage and cruel character of the Egyptians and the fire to the avenging power of the chastisement that overtook them.
Proof of the Gospel 5.13.240

Cassiodorus †585

The God of gods is the Lord Christ; with the Father and Holy Spirit he is truly called God of gods, though the title is not wholly appropriate to the Godhead because the human tongue cannot, as we have already said, indicate the height of the Godhead beyond this. Deus (“God”) in the Greek language means “fear,” and since he alone is to be feared the word attained the role of a title. We read in Exodus: “My name Adonai I did not show them.” From this we are to realize that the name is secret and is known to have been revealed not even to chosen ministers. So he spoke through prophets, through apostles and more powerfully through his own mouth.
Exposition of the Psalms 49:1

4

And I established my covenant with them, to give them the land of the Chananites, the land wherein they sojourned, in which also they dwelt as strangers.

καὶ ἔστησα τὴν διαθήκην μου πρὸς αὐτοὺς ὥστε δοῦναι αὐτοῖς τὴν γῆν τῶν Χαναναίων, τὴν γῆν, ἣν παρῳκήκασιν, ἐν ᾗ καὶ παρῴκησαν ἐπ᾿ αὐτῆς.

и҆ поста́вихъ завѣ́тъ мо́й съ ни́ми, ꙗ҆́кѡ да́ти и҆̀мъ зе́млю ханаа́нскꙋ, зе́млю прише́льствїѧ и҆́хъ, на не́йже и҆ ѡ҆бита́хꙋ:

5

And I hearkened to the groaning of the children of Israel (the affliction with which the Egyptians enslave them) and I remembered the covenant with you.

καὶ ἐγὼ εἰσήκουσα τὸν στεναγμὸν τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ισραήλ, ὃν οἱ Αἰγύπτιοι καταδουλοῦνται αὐτούς, καὶ ἐμνήσθην τῆς διαθήκης ὑμῶν.

а҆́зъ же ᲂу҆слы́шахъ стена́нїе сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ, и҆̀мже є҆гѵ́птѧне порабо́тиша и҆̀хъ, и҆ помѧнꙋ́хъ завѣ́тъ мо́й:

6

Go, speak to the children of Israel, saying, I [am] the Lord; and I will lead you forth from the tyranny of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from bondage, and I will ransom you with a high arm, and great judgment.

βάδιζε, εἰπὸν τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραὴλ λέγων· ἐγὼ Κύριος καὶ ἐξάξω ὑμᾶς ἀπὸ τῆς δυναστείας τῶν Αἰγυπτίων καὶ ῥύσομαι ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῆς δουλείας καὶ λυτρώσομαι ὑμᾶς ἐν βραχίονι ὑψηλῷ καὶ κρίσει μεγάλῃ

и҆дѝ, рцы̀ сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ глаго́лѧ: а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь, и҆ и҆зведꙋ̀ ва́съ ѿ наси́лїѧ є҆гѵ́петска, и҆ и҆зба́влю ва́съ ѿ рабо́ты (и҆́хъ), и҆ ѿимꙋ̀ ва́съ мы́шцею высо́кою и҆ сꙋдо́мъ вели́кимъ,

7

And I will take you to me a people for myself, and will be your God; and ye shall know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from the tyranny of the Egyptians.

καὶ λήψομαι ἐμαυτῷ ὑμᾶς λαὸν ἐμοὶ καὶ ἔσομαι ὑμῶν Θεός, καὶ γνώσεσθε ὅτι ἐγὼ Κύριος ὁ Θεὸς ὑμῶν ὁ ἐξαγαγὼν ὑμᾶς ἐκ τῆς καταδυναστείας τῶν Αἰγυπτίων,

и҆ прїимꙋ̀ вы̀ себѣ̀ въ лю́ди, и҆ бꙋ́дꙋ ва́мъ бг҃ъ: и҆ ᲂу҆разꙋмѣ́ете, ꙗ҆́кѡ а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь бг҃ъ ва́шъ, и҆зведы́й ва́съ ѿ землѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ и҆ ѿ наси́лїѧ є҆гѵ́петска:

8

And I will bring you into the land concerning which I stretched out my hand to give it to Abraam and Isaac and Jacob, and I will give it you for an inheritance: I [am] the Lord.

καὶ εἰσάξω ὑμᾶς εἰς τὴν γῆν, εἰς ἣν ἐξέτεινα τὴν χεῖρά μου, δοῦναι αὐτὴν τῷ ῾Αβραὰμ καὶ ᾿Ισαὰκ καὶ ᾿Ιακώβ, καὶ δώσω ὑμῖν αὐτὴν ἐν κλήρῳ· ἐγὼ Κύριος.

и҆ введꙋ̀ ва́съ въ зе́млю, на ню́же простро́хъ рꙋ́кꙋ мою̀, да́ти ю҆̀ а҆враа́мꙋ и҆ і҆саа́кꙋ и҆ і҆а́кѡвꙋ: и҆ да́мъ ю҆̀ ва́мъ въ наслѣ́дїе, а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь.

9

And Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel, and they hearkened not to Moses for faint-heartedness, and for their hard tasks.

ἐλάλησε δὲ Μωυσῆς οὕτω τοῖς υἱοῖς ᾿Ισραήλ, καὶ οὐκ εἰσήκουσαν Μωυσῆ ἀπό τῆς ὀλιγοψυχίας καὶ ἀπὸ τῶν ἔργων τῶν σκληρῶν.

Глаго́ла же мѡѷсе́й та́кѡ сынѡ́мъ і҆и҃лєвымъ, и҆ не послꙋ́шаша мѡѷсе́а ѿ малодꙋ́шїѧ и҆ ѿ дѣ́лъ же́стокихъ.

10

And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

Εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων·

Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю, гл҃ѧ:

11

Go in, speak to Pharao king of Egypt, that he send forth the children of Israel out of his land.

εἴσελθε, λάλησον Φαραὼ βασιλεῖ Αἰγύπτου, ἵνα ἐξαποστείλῃ τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐκ τῆς γῆς αὐτοῦ.

вни́ди, глаго́ли фараѡ́нꙋ царю̀ є҆гѵ́петскомꙋ, да ѿпꙋ́ститъ сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы и҆з̾ землѝ своеѧ̀.

12

And Moses spoke before the Lord, saying, Behold, the children of Israel hearkened not to me, and how shall Pharao hearken to me? and I am not eloquent.

ἐλάλησε δὲ Μωυσῆς ἔναντι Κυρίου λέγων· ἰδοὺ οἱ υἱοὶ ᾿Ισραὴλ οὐκ εἰσήκουσάν μου, καὶ πῶς εἰσακούσεταί μου Φαραώ; ἐγὼ δὲ ἄλογός εἰμι.

Рече́ же мѡѷсе́й пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ глаго́лѧ: сѐ, сы́нове і҆и҃лєвы не послꙋ́шаша менѐ, и҆ ка́кѡ послꙋ́шаетъ менѐ фараѡ́нъ; а҆́зъ же неслове́сенъ є҆́смь.

13

And the Lord spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a charge to Pharao king of Egypt, that he should send forth the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

εἶπε δὲ Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν καὶ ᾿Ααρὼν καὶ συνέταξεν αὐτοῖς πρὸς Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου, ὥστε ἐξαποστεῖλαι τοὺς υἱοὺς ᾿Ισραὴλ ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου.

Рече́ же гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю и҆ а҆арѡ́нꙋ и҆ завѣща̀ и҆̀мъ вни́ти къ фараѡ́нꙋ царю̀ є҆гѵ́петскомꙋ, да ѿпꙋ́ститъ сы́ны і҆и҃лєвы ѿ землѝ є҆гѵ́петскїѧ.

῟ῌ ἡμέρᾳ ἐλάλησε Κύριος Μωυσῇ ἐν γῇ Αἰγύπτῳ,

во́ньже де́нь гл҃а гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю въ землѝ є҆гѵ́петстѣй.

29

then the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, I am the Lord: speak to Pharao king of Egypt whatsoever I say to thee.

καὶ ἐλάλησε Κύριος πρὸς Μωυσῆν λέγων· ἐγὼ Κύριος· λάλησον πρὸς Φαραὼ βασιλέα Αἰγύπτου ὅσα ἐγὼ λέγω πρὸς σέ.

И҆ речѐ гдⷭ҇ь къ мѡѷсе́ю гл҃ѧ: а҆́зъ гдⷭ҇ь: глаго́ли къ фараѡ́нꙋ царю̀ є҆гѵ́петскомꙋ, є҆ли̑ка а҆́зъ гл҃ю къ тебѣ̀.

30

And Moses said before the Lord, Behold, I am not able in speech, and how shall Pharao hearken to me?

καὶ εἶπε Μωυσῆς ἐναντίον Κυρίου· ἰδοὺ ἐγὼ ἰσχνόφωνός εἰμι, καὶ πῶς εἰσακούσεταί μου Φαραώ;

И҆ речѐ мѡѷсе́й пред̾ гдⷭ҇емъ: сѐ, а҆́зъ хꙋдогла́сенъ є҆́смь, и҆ ка́кѡ послꙋ́шаетъ менѐ фараѡ́нъ;
