Exodus 6:3-5

New Century Version

³ I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob by the name God Almighty, but they did not know me by my name, the Lord. ⁴ I also made my agreement with them to give them the land of Canaan. They lived in that land, but it was not their own. ⁵ Now I have heard the cries of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians are treating as slaves, and I remember my agreement.
