[1] Then the LORD said unto Moses, Now shalt thou see what I will do to Pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land.
[2] And God spake unto Moses, and said unto him, I am the LORD:
[3] And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.
[4] And I have also established my covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, wherein they were strangers.
[5] And I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage; and I have remembered my covenant.
[6] Wherefore say unto the children of Israel, I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will rid you out of their bondage, and I will redeem you with a stretched out arm, and with great judgments:
[7] And I will take you to me for a people, and I will be to you a God: and ye shall know that I am the LORD your God, which bringeth you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians.
[8] And I will bring you in unto the land, concerning the which I did swear to give it to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob; and I will give it you for an heritage: I am the LORD.
[9] And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of spirit, and for cruel bondage.
[10] And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
[11] Go in, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.
[12] And Moses spake before the LORD, saying, Behold, the children of Israel have not hearkened unto me; how then shall Pharaoh hear me, who am of uncircumcised lips?
[13] And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, and gave them a charge unto the children of Israel, and unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.
[14] These be the heads of their fathers' houses: The sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel; Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi: these be the families of Reuben.
[15] And the sons of Simeon; Jemuel, and Jamin, and Ohad, and Jachin, and Zohar, and Shaul the son of a Canaanitish woman: these are the families of Simeon.

[26] These are that Aaron and Moses, to whom the LORD said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their armies.
[27] These are they which spake to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt: these are that Moses and Aaron.
[28] And it came to pass on the day when the LORD spake unto Moses in the land of Egypt,
[29] That the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, I am the LORD: speak thou unto Pharaoh king of Egypt all that I say unto thee.
[30] And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?
God Reveals a New Name to Moses
To Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, the Creator was the Almighty God.
But starting with Moses, the Creator would be known as the I Am, or I Am That I Am. Our God dwells in the eternal present. He does not live in time as we do, he simply is. He is the self-existent, always present God, and there is none like Him. When this Hebrew word is used and translated in the Old Testament, it is typically translated as the LORD, in ALL CAPS.
We are not sure how this word should be pronounced. The Hebrew equivalent contains no vowels, thus the word jehovah is a guess. Observant jews, out of respect for the name of God, don't even try. When referring to Him they simply refer to Him as "The Name."
The Hebrew יְהוָֹה translates into English YHWH, Is most commonly pronounced :"Yah-veh" or Yahway".
The unfaithful Jewish rulers of the day of Jesus wanted to stone Jesus when He called Himself by this name.
To them this was blasphemous, because Jesus was claiming to be God with absolute certainty; the same God that delivered them from Egypt.
There were several different names used for God in the Old Testament, and all of them referred to Jesus Christ the Lord. He is the Creator and the Redeemer. He is the one that delivered them from Egypt and gave them the law. However, just as the ancient Hebrew people were unbelieving and unfaithful to their God, this continued into the New Testament to the point where they physically killed their God in the flesh, Jesus Christ the Messiah and Savior.
The Pharoah of Egypt Will Let You Go
However he will not let you go willingly and he will not let you go immediately. I'm going to judge him and his nation and his gods and after that he will let you go. And not just let you go he will be so anxious for you to be gone, he will drive you out, you will be sent out with great riches.
We Have Been Delivered from Bondage
Israel's bondage or slavery in Egypt is a type of our bondage or slavery to sin. Jesus is our Moses that delivered us from the bondage that we are in by His own blood. Just as the Israelites were passed over in judgment because of the blood of the passover lamb, we are passed over in judgment because of the Lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world.
John 1:29
The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
Rom. 8:1
There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
