Exodus 3:16-18

16GoH1980 and 1gatherH622 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 together and sayH559 to them, ‘2The LordH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290 has appearedH7200 to me, sayingH559, “34I amH6485 indeedH6485 concernedH6485 about you and what has been doneH6213 to you in EgyptH4714.

17So 5I saidH559, I will bringH5927 you upH5927 out of the oppressionH6040 of EgyptH4714 to the landH776 of 6the CanaaniteH3669, the HittiteH2850, the AmoriteH567, the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983, to a landH776 7flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.”’

18Then 8they will 9payH8085 attentionH8085 to whatH6963 you sayH6963; and 10you 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 11threeH7969 days’H3117 journeyH1870 into the wildernessH4057, so that we may sacrificeH2076 to the LordH3068 our GodH430.’
