Exodus 6:7-9

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁷ Then I will make you my people, and I will be your God. You will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the forced labor of the Egyptians. ⁸ I will bring you to the land I solemnly swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as your own possession. I am the Lord.’ ”

⁹ Moses reported this to the Israelites. But they would not listen to him because they were so discouraged by their back-breaking work.
