Exodus 3:12-17
12And He said, “Certainly 1I will be with you, and this shall be the sign to you that it is I who have sent you: 2when you have brought the people out of Egypt, 3you shall 4worship 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, “56I AM WHO 7I AM”; and He said, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘8I AM has sent me to you.’” 15God, furthermore, said to Moses, “Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ‘9The 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 10memorial-name 11to all generations. 16Go and 12gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘13The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, “1415I am indeed concerned about you and what has been done to you in Egypt. 17So 16I said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of 17the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite, to a land 18flowing with milk and honey.”’
