Exodus 4:22

King James Version

²²And thou shalt say unto Pharaoh, Thus saith the Lord, Israel is my son, even my firstborn:

⁴Have you not just called to me:
‘My Father,^(A) my friend from my youth,^(B)

⁴Wilt thou not from this time cry unto me, My father, thou art the guide of my youth?

⁴¹You are doing the works of your own father.”^(A)

“We are not illegitimate children,” they protested. “The only Father we have is God himself.”^(B)

⁴¹Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God.
