While the Israelites were still in Egypt, Jehovah sent Moses to Pharaoh and said: “Go in to Pharaoh, because I ​ — I have let his heart and the hearts of his servants become unresponsive, in order that I may set these signs of mine right before him, and in order that you may declare in the ears of your son and your son’s son how severely I have dealt with Egypt and my signs that I have established among them; and you will certainly know that I am Jehovah. ”
Kui iisraellased olid veel Egiptuses, läkitas Jehoova Moosese vaarao juurde ning ütles: „Mine vaarao juurde, sest ma olen paadutanud tema südame ja ta sulaste südamed, et teha nende keskel oma imetegusid, ja selleks, et sa saaksid jutustada oma poja ja pojapoja kuuldes, kuidas ma olen näidanud egiptlastele oma jõudu, ja mu imetegudest, mis ma neile olen teinud, et te teaksite, et mina olen Jehoova! ”
