6:6 Therefore say to the sons of Israel, I am Yahweh, and I will bring you+ out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you+ out of their slavery, and I will redeem you+ with an outstretched arm, and with great judgments:
6:7 and I will take you+ to be my people, and I will be your+ God; and you+ will know that I am Yahweh your+ God, who brings you+ out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
6:8 And I will bring you+ in to the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it to you+ for a heritage: I am Yahweh.
