13Then MosesH4872 saidH559 to GodH430, “BeholdH2009, I am goingH935 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, and I will sayH559 to them, ‘The GodH430 of your fathersH1 has sentH7971 me to you.’ Now they may sayH559 to me, ‘WhatH4100 is His nameH8034?’ WhatH4100 shall I sayH559 to them?”

14GodH430 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “12I AMH1961 WHOH834 3I AMH1961”; and He saidH559, “ThusH3541 you shall sayH559 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, ‘4I AMH1961 has sentH7971 me to you.’”

15GodH430, furthermoreH5750, saidH559 to MosesH4872, “ThusH3541 you shall sayH559 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, ‘5The LordH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, the GodH430 of IsaacH3327, and the GodH430 of JacobH3290, has sentH7971 me to you.’ ThisH2088 is My nameH8034 foreverH5769, and thisH2088 is My 6memorial-nameH2143 7to allH1755 generationsH1755.

16GoH1980 and 8gatherH622 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 together and sayH559 to them, ‘9The LordH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327 and JacobH3290, has appearedH7200 to me, sayingH559, “1011I amH6485 indeedH6485 concernedH6485 about you and what has been doneH6213 to you in EgyptH4714.

17So 12I saidH559, I will bringH5927 you up out of the afflictionH6040 of EgyptH4714 to the landH776 of 13the CanaaniteH3669 and the HittiteH2850 and the AmoriteH567 and the PerizziteH6522 and the HiviteH2340 and the JebusiteH2983, to a landH776 14flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.”’
