2.Mose 6 | Bibelen på hverdagsdansk

1 „Nu skal du få at se, hvad jeg vil gøre ved Farao,” sagde Herren til Moses. „Han skal få min magt at føle, indtil han lader mit folk rejse. Han vil blive så opsat på at komme af med dem, at han nærmest vil jage dem ud!”

2 „Jeg er Herren!” fortsatte han.

3 „Jeg åbenbarede mig for Abraham, Isak og Jakob som den almægtige Gud, men de har ikke til fulde erfaret, hvad mit navn, Jahve. egentlig står for.

4 Jeg indgik en pagt med dem, hvor jeg lovede at give dem og deres efterkommere Kana’ans land, det land, hvor de boede som fremmede.

5 Jeg har hørt Israels folks klageskrig under deres slaveri i Egypten, og da jeg har indgået en pagt med dem, vil jeg også opfylde det løfte, jeg gav dem.

6 Sig derfor til israelitterne: ‚Jeg er Herren, og jeg vil befri jer fra slaveriet i Egypten med vældig magt og store undere.

7 I skal være mit udvalgte folk, og jeg vil være jeres Gud. I skal opleve, at jeg er Herren, jeres Gud, og at jeg befrier jer fra slaveriet i Egypten.

8 Jeg vil føre jer til det land, jeg lovede Abraham, Isak og Jakob. Jeg giver det til jer, og det skal være jeres. Jeg er Herren!’ ”

9 Moses fortalte nu folket, hvad Gud havde sagt, men de ville ikke længere høre på ham. De havde fuldstændig mistet modet på grund af den øgede arbejdsbyrde.

10 Da sagde Herren til Moses:

11 „Gå tilbage til kong Farao og sig til ham, at han skal lade israelitterne rejse ud af Egypten.”

12 „Men Herre!” indvendte Moses. „Når mit eget folk ikke engang vil høre på mig, hvordan kan jeg så forvente, at Farao vil? Jeg duer ikke til at tale!”

13 Alligevel befalede Herren Moses og Aron at gå til kong Farao og forlange, at han skulle lade israelitterne forlade Egypten.

Levis slægt frem til Moses og Aron

14 Følgende personer var overhoveder for forskellige slægter blandt Israels folk: Israels ældste søn Ruben havde følgende sønner: Hanok, Pallu, Hetzron og Karmi.

15 Simeons sønner hed Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jakin, Zohar og Shaul (hans mor var kana’anæer).

16 Levis sønner hed: Gershon, Kehat og Merari. Levi blev 137 år gammel.

17 Gershons sønner hed Libni og Shimi.

18 Kehats sønner hed Amram, Jitzhar, Hebron og Uzziel. Kehat blev 133 år gammel.

19 Meraris sønner hed Mahli og Mushi. Disse blev slægtsoverhoveder i Levis stamme ifølge deres slægtsbog.

20 Amram giftede sig med Jokebed, som var hans faster, og de fik sønnerne Aron og Moses. Amram blev 137 år gammel.

21 Jitzhars sønner hed Kora, Nefeg og Zikri.

22 Uzziels sønner hed Mishael, Elsafan og Sitri.

25 Arons søn Eleazar giftede sig med en af Putiels døtre, og de fik en søn der hed Pinehas. Alle disse var slægtsoverhoveder inden for Levis stamme med tilhørende familier.

26 Aron og Moses, som er nævnt her i slægtstavlen, er de to mænd, til hvem Herren sagde: „Før Israels stammer ud af Egypten!”

27 Det var dem, som gik til Farao for at få tilladelse til at føre folket ud af landet.

Herrens befaling til Moses og Aron

28 Dengang Herren talte til Moses i Egypten,

29 sagde han til ham: „Jeg er Herren! Sig alt det, jeg pålægger dig, til kong Farao af Egypten.”

30 Men Moses svarede: „Jeg duer jo ikke til at tale! Hvorfor skulle Farao høre på mig?”

King James Version

1 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.

2 And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:

3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

4 And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.

5 And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.

6 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:

7 And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.

8 And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.

9 And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.

10 And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,

11 Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

12 And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?

13 And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

26 These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.

27 These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.

28 And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,

29 That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.

30 And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
