Exodus 3:8-17
8So I have comeH3381 downH3381 1to deliverH5337 them from the 2powerH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and to bringH5927 them up from that landH776 to a 3goodH2896 and spaciousH7342 landH776, to a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, to the placeH4725 of 4the CanaaniteH3669 and the HittiteH2850 and the AmoriteH567 and the PerizziteH6522 and the HiviteH2340 and the JebusiteH2983. 9NowH6258, beholdH2009, 5the cryH6818 of the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 has comeH935 to Me; furthermoreH1571, I have seenH7200 the oppressionH3906 with whichH834 the EgyptiansH4714 are oppressingH3905 them. 10Therefore, comeH1980 nowH6258, and I will sendH7971 you to PharaohH6547, 6so that you may bringH3318 My peopleH5971, the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, out of EgyptH4714.” 11But MosesH4872 saidH559 to GodH430, “7WhoH4310 am I, that I should goH1980 to PharaohH6547, and that I should bringH3318 the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714?” 12And He saidH559, “CertainlyH3588 8I will be with you, and thisH2088 shall be the signH226 to you that it is I who have sentH7971 you: 9when you have broughtH3318 the peopleH5971 out of EgyptH4714, 10you shall 11worshipH5647 GodH430 at thisH2088 mountainH2022.”
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, “1213I AMH1961 WHOH834 14I AMH1961”; and He saidH559, “ThusH3541 you shall sayH559 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, ‘15I AMH1961 has sentH7971 me to you.’” 15GodH430, furthermoreH5750, saidH559 to MosesH4872, “ThusH3541 you shall sayH559 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478, ‘16The 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 17memorial-nameH2143 18to allH1755 generationsH1755. 16GoH1980 and 19gatherH622 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 together and sayH559 to them, ‘20The LordH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327 and JacobH3290, has appearedH7200 to me, sayingH559, “2122I amH6485 indeedH6485 concernedH6485 about you and what has been doneH6213 to you in EgyptH4714. 17So 23I saidH559, I will bringH5927 you up out of the afflictionH6040 of EgyptH4714 to the landH776 of 24the CanaaniteH3669 and the HittiteH2850 and the AmoriteH567 and the PerizziteH6522 and the HiviteH2340 and the JebusiteH2983, to a landH776 25flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.”’
