I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as El Shaddai, but I did not make Myself known to them by My name YHVH. I also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land in which they lived as sojourners. I have now heard the moaning of the Israelites because the Egyptians are holding them in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant. Say, therefore, to the Israelite people: I am the Lord. I will free you from the labors of the Egyptians and deliver you from their bondage. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and through extraordinary chastisements. And I will take you to be My people, and I will be your God. And you shall know that I, the Lord, am your God who freed you from the labors of the Egyptians. I will bring you into the land which I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give it to you for a possession, I the Lord.&#8221; But when Moses told this to the Israelites, they would not listen to Moses, their spirits crushed by cruel bondage.<br \/>\nThe Lord spoke to Moses, saying, &#8220;Go and tell Pharaoh king of Egypt to let the Israelites depart from his land.&#8221; But Moses appealed to the Lord, saying, &#8220;The Israelites would not listen to me; how then should Pharaoh heed me, a man of impeded speech!&#8221; So the Lord spoke to both Moses and Aaron in regard to the Israelites and Pharaoh king of Egypt, instructing them to deliver the Israelites from the land of Egypt.<br \/>\n<em>From Parshat Vaera.
