| Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
| Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
|The Lord replied to Moses, "Now you will see what I'll do to Pharaoh, because it takes harsh dealings with him for him to let you go, and he shall drive you out of his land harshly."
|The L<small>ORD</small> replied to Moses, "Now you will see what I'll do to Pharaoh. Before I'm through, he'll not only ''let'' you out; he'll ''order'' you out and even ''drive'' you out of his land."

|I appeared to [[Abraham]], [[Isaac]], and [[Jacob]]. They knew me as the All-Sufficient [[God]], but they did ''not'' know me by My name of Yahweh."
|
|"Jehovah" is an almost clumsy attempt at transliterating the [[Tetragrammaton]] from [[Hebrew]] script into Roman script, in a gross misapplication of the rules of alternation of consonants and vowels. In the original manuscript, only the form '''יהוה''' ([[YHWH]]) appears. The usual rendition in [[English]] is "L<small>ORD</small>", to indicate the special reverence in which the Hebrew scribes held this Name.

| Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments

|Moses replied, "The children of Israel haven't listened to me, what makes you think Pharaoh will, since I'm not circumcised?"
|Moses replied to the L<small>ORD</small>, "The children of Israel haven't listened to me. What makes You think Pharaoh will, since I have uncircumcised lips?"
|The issue is that since Moses was raised Egyptian, he is not circumcised, so Pharaoh will not consider him to be Hebrew and thus will not consider his words concerning Hebrew freedom to have much merit.
|Moses is raising his lack of eloquence again. However, Divine Patience can be infinite, when required.
