Joe: Alright, so let's get into Exodus 6. What's this one about?

Expert: This chapter is about God reaffirming his covenant with Moses and the Israelites. He reveals his name - Yahweh - and makes it clear that he is the one who delivers them from slavery in Egypt.

Joe: Whoa, whoa, whoa. Yahweh? What's that?

Expert: Yahweh is the name of God in the Hebrew Bible. It's an ancient name for God that means "I Am".

Joe: Whoa, that's deep. So what does God say to Moses?

Expert: He tells Moses to go to Pharaoh and demand that he let the Israelites go. He also tells Moses that he will bring them into the land of Canaan, which is the Promised Land.

Joe: Wait, so God tells Moses that he's going to take the Israelites out of Egypt and lead them into the Promised Land?

Expert: That's right. God also tells Moses that he will perform miracles to convince Pharaoh that he is God, and to make it clear that he is in control. He also promises to bring plagues on the Egyptians if Pharaoh does not let the Israelites go.
