Exodus 3:10-22

10Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, 1so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.” 11But Moses said to God, “2Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the sons of Israel out of Egypt?” 12And He said, “Certainly 3I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: 4when you have brought the people out of Egypt, 5you shall 6worship God at this mountain.”

13Then Moses said to God, “Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you.’ Now they may say to me, ‘What is His name?’ What shall I say to them?” 14God said to Moses, “78I AM WHO 9I AM”; and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘10I AM has sent me to you.’” 15God, furthermore, said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘11The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is My name forever, and this is My 12memorial-name 13to all generations. 16Go and 14gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘15The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “1617I am indeed concerned about you and what has been done to you in Egypt. 17So 18I said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of 19the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, to a land 20flowing with milk and honey.”’ 1821They will 22pay heed to what you say; and 23you with the elders of Israel will come to the king of Egypt and you will say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. So now, please, let us go a 24three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’ 19But I know that the king of Egypt 25will not permit you to go, 26except 27under compulsion. 20So I will stretch out 28My hand and strike Egypt with all My 29miracles which I shall do in the midst of it; and 30after that he will let you go. 21I will grant this people 31favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be that when you go, you will not go empty-handed. 22But every woman 32shall ask of her neighbor and the woman who lives in her house, articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; and you will put them on your sons and daughters. Thus you will 33plunder the Egyptians.”
