Exodus 6

God encourages Moses, and promises to show wonders upon Pharaoh, and to bring out his people with a strong hand, Exodus 6:1 . He confirms this promise by his essential name Jehovah, Exodus 6:2 , Exodus 6:3 ; by the covenant he had made with their fathers, Exodus 6:4 , Exodus 6:5 . Sends Moses with a fresh message to the Hebrews, full of the most gracious promises, and confirms the whole by appealing to the name in which his unchangeable existence is implied, Exodus 6:6-8 . Moses delivers the message to the Israelites, but through anguish of spirit they do not believe, Exodus 6:9 . He receives a new commission to go to Pharaoh, Exodus 6:10 , Exodus 6:11 . He excuses himself on account of his unreadiness of speech, Exodus 6:12 . The Lord gives him and Aaron a charge both to Pharaoh and to the children of Israel, Exodus 6:13 . The genealogy of Reuben, Exodus 6:14 ; of Simeon, Exodus 6:15 ; of Levi, from whom descended Gershon, Kohath, and Merari, Exodus 6:16 . The sons of Gershon, Exodus 6:17 ; of Kohath, Exodus 6:15 ; of Merari, Exodus 6:19 . The marriage of Amram and Jochebed, Exodus 6:20 . The sons of Izhar and Uzziel, the brothers of Amram, Exodus 6:21 , Exodus 6:22 . Marriage of Aaron and Elisheba, and the birth of their sons, Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, Exodus 6:23 . The sons of Korah, the nephew of Aaron, Exodus 6:24 . The marriage of Eleazar to one of the daughters of Putiel, and the birth of Phinehas, Exodus 6:25 . These genealogical accounts introduced for the sake of showing the line of descent of Moses and Aaron, Exodus 6:26 , Exodus 6:27 . A recapitulation of the commission delivered to Moses and Aaron, Exodus 6:29 , and a repetition of the excuse formerly made by Moses, Exodus 6:30 .
