Exodus 6:7-8
take <03947> [will take.]
God ............ God <0430> [I will be.]
enslavement <05450> [from under.]
swore <05375> [swear. Heb. lift up my hand.]
The ancient mode of appealing to God was by lifting up the right hand, and was considered as a form of swearing. Hence {yamin,} in Hebrew the right hand, is in Arabic an oath, and as a verb, to take an oath. A similar custom prevailed among the heathens. See Virg. ’n. 1. xii. v. 196.
give ............ give <05414> [to give.]
Lord <03068> [I am.]
