Exodus 3:10-22

10And now come, 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, “Assuredly 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?” 14And God said to Moses, “78I AM WHO 9I AM”; and He said, “This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘10I AM has sent me to you.’” 15God furthermore said to Moses, “This is what 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 the 1213name for 14all generations to use to call upon Me. 16Go and 15gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘16The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has appeared to me, saying, “1718I am indeed concerned about you and what has been done to you in Egypt. 17So 19I said, I will bring you up out of the oppression of Egypt to the land of 20the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, to a land 21flowing with milk and honey.”’ 18Then 22they will 23pay attention to what you say; and 24you 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 25three days’ journey into the wilderness, so that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’ 19But I know that the king of Egypt 26will not permit you to go, 27except 28under compulsion. 20So I will reach out with 29My hand and strike Egypt with all My 30miracles which I shall do in the midst of it; and 31after that he will let you go. 21I will grant this people 32favor in the sight of the Egyptians; and it shall be that when you go, you will not go empty-handed. 22But every woman 33shall ask her neighbor and the woman who lives in her house for articles of silver and articles of gold, and clothing; and you will put them on your sons and daughters. So you will 34plunder the Egyptians.”
