Exodus 3:8-17

8So I have comeH3381 downH3381 1to rescueH5337 them from the 2powerH3027 of the EgyptiansH4714, and to bringH5927 them upH5927 from that landH776 to a 3goodH2896 and spaciousH7342 landH776, to a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706, to the placeH4725 of 4the CanaaniteH3669, the HittiteH2850, the AmoriteH567, the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983. 9And nowH6258, 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. 10And nowH6258 comeH1980, 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 outH3318 of EgyptH4714?” 12And He saidH559, “AssuredlyH3588 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 outH3318 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?” 14And GodH430 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “1213I AMH1961 WHOH834 14I AMH1961”; and He saidH559, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 you shall sayH559 to the sonsH1121 of IsraelH3478: ‘15I AMH1961 has sentH7971 me to you.’” 15GodH430 furthermoreH5750 saidH559 to MosesH4872, “ThisH3541 isH3541 whatH3541 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 the 1718nameH2143 for 19allH1755 generationsH1755 to use to callH2143 uponH2143 Me. 16GoH1980 and 20gatherH622 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 together and sayH559 to them, ‘21The LordH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, IsaacH3327, and JacobH3290 has appearedH7200 to me, sayingH559, “2223I amH6485 indeedH6485 concernedH6485 about you and what has been doneH6213 to you in EgyptH4714. 17So 24I saidH559, I will bringH5927 you upH5927 out of the oppressionH6040 of EgyptH4714 to the landH776 of 25the CanaaniteH3669, the HittiteH2850, the AmoriteH567, the PerizziteH6522, the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983, to a landH776 26flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.”’
