Shabbat, 25 Tevet, 5785 (25 January, 2025)
| 2 God rebuked Moses by saying to him, “I am God. |
| 3 I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob only as El Shadai [‘God Almighty’]; I was not manifest to them by My Name God. |
| 4 I also made My covenant with them to give them Canaan, the land in which they lived as sojourners. |
| 5 I have also heard the Israelites’ groaning, complaining that the Egyptians are enslaving them, and I have recalled My covenant. |
| 6 Therefore, convey to the Israelites: ‘I am God. I will free you from the oppression of the Egyptians, rescue you from their servitude, and redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great chastisements. |
| 7 I will take you to Myself as a nation, and I will be your God. And you will know that I am God, your God, who is freeing you from the burdens of the Egyptians. |
| 8 I will bring you to the land regarding which I raised My hand to swear that I would give it to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and I will give it to you as a heritage; for I am God.’” |
| 9 Moses related God’s message to the Israelites, but they did not listen to Moses, because of their anguish of spirit and harsh labor. |
| 10 God spoke to Moses, saying, |
| 11 “Come and speak to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, so he will send the Israelites out of his land.” |
| 12 But Moses spoke before God, saying, “Even the Israelites have not listened to me, so how will Pharaoh listen to me? For I am a man of blocked lips.” |
| 13 God spoke to Moses and to Aaron. He commanded them to be His emissaries to the Israelites and to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to take the Israelites out of Egypt. |
