Exodus 6:4-8

4I even made a promise  to give them Canaan, the land where they lived as foreigners.

5Now I have heard the groaning of the Israelites, whom the Egyptians hold in slavery, and I have remembered my promise.

6“Tell the Israelites, ‘I am the Lord. I will bring you out from under the oppression of the Egyptians, and I will free you from slavery. I will rescue you with my powerful arm and with mighty acts of judgment.

7Then I will make you my people, and I will be your God. You will know that I am the Lord your God, who brought you out from under the forced labor of the Egyptians.

8I will bring you to the land I solemnly swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I will give it to you as your own possession. I am the Lord.’ ”
