Exodus 3:13-18

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?”

14And GodH430 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “12I AMH1961 WHOH834 3I AMH1961”; and He saidH559, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 you shall sayH559 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478: ‘4I AMH1961 has sentH7971 me to you.’”

15GodH430 furthermoreH5750 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 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 the 67nameH2143 for 8allH1755 generationsH1755 to use to callH2143 uponH2143 Me.

16GoH1980 and 9gatherH622 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 together and sayH559 to them, ‘10The LordH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290 has appearedH7200 to me, sayingH559, “1112I amH6485 indeedH6485 concernedH6485 about you and what has been doneH6213 to you in EgyptH4714.

17So 13I saidH559, I will bringH5927 you upH5927 out of the oppressionH6040 of EgyptH4714 to the landH776 of 14the CanaaniteH3669, the HittiteH2850, the AmoriteH567, the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983, to a landH776 15flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.”’

18Then 16they will 17payH8085 attentionH8085 to whatH6963 you sayH6963; and 18you 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 19threeH7969 days’H3117 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057, so that we may sacrificeH2076 to the LordH3068 our GodH430.’
