Exodus 6:12 in Context — Exodus 6

10 Y habló Jehová á Moisés, diciendo:

11 Entra, y habla á Faraón rey de Egipto, que deje ir de su tierra á los hijos de Israel.

12 Y respondió Moisés delante de Jehová, diciendo: He aquí, los hijos de Israel no me escuchan: ¿cómo pues me escuchará Faraón, mayormente siendo yo incircunciso de labios?

13 Entonces Jehová habló á Moisés y á Aarón, y dióles mandamiento para los hijos de Israel, y para Faraón rey de Egipto, para que sacasen á los hijos de Israel de la tierra de Egipto.

14 Estas son las cabezas de las familias de sus padres. Los hijos de Rubén, el primogénito de Israel: Hanoch y Phallú, Hezrón y Carmi: estas son las familias de Rubén.
