Exodus 3:17-20

17So 1I saidH559, I will bringH5927 you up out of the afflictionH6040 of EgyptH4714 to the landH776 of 2the CanaaniteH3669 and the HittiteH2850 and the AmoriteH567 and the PerizziteH6522 and the HiviteH2340 and the JebusiteH2983, to a landH776 3flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.”’

18 4They will 5payH8085 heedH8085 to whatH6963 you sayH6963; and 6you with the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 will comeH935 to the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 and you will sayH559 to him, ‘The LordH3068, the GodH430 of the HebrewsH5680, has metH7136 with us. So nowH6258, pleaseH4994, let us goH1980 a 7threeH7969 days’H3117 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057, that we may sacrificeH2076 to the LordH3068 our GodH430.’

19But I knowH3045 that the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 8will not permitH5414 you to goH1980, 9exceptH3808 10under compulsionH2389 H3027.

20So I will stretchH7971 out 11My handH3027 and strikeH5221 EgyptH4714 with allH3605 My 12miraclesH6381 whichH834 I shall doH6213 in the midstH7130 of it; and 13afterH310 that he will let you goH7971.
