Exodus 3:6-19

6Moreover he saidH559, I am the GodH430 of thy fatherH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, the GodH430 of IsaacH3327, and the GodH430 of JacobH3290. And MosesH4872 hidH5641 his faceH6440; for he was afraidH3372 to lookH5027 uponH413 GodH430.

7And the LORDH3068 saidH559, I have surelyH3588 seenH7200 the affliction of my peopleH5971 whichH834 are in EgyptH4714, and have heardH8085 their cryH6818 by reasonH834 of their taskmastersH5065; for I knowH3045 their sorrowsH4341;

8and I am comeH5927 downH3381 to deliverH5337 them outH4480 of the handH3027 of the EgyptiansH4713, and to bringH5927 them upH5927 outH4480 of that landH776 unto a goodH2896 landH776 and a large, unto a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706; unto the placeH4725 of the CanaaniteH3669, and the HittiteH2850, and the AmoriteH567, and the PerizziteH6522, and the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983.

9And nowH6258, beholdH2009, the cryH6818 of the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 is comeH935 unto meH413: moreoverH1571 I have seenH7200 the oppressionH3906 wherewith the EgyptiansH4713 oppressH3905 them.

10ComeH3318 nowH6258 therefore, and I will sendH7971 thee unto PharaohH6547, that thou mayest bringH3318 forthH3318 my peopleH5971 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 outH3318 of EgyptH4714.

11And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto GodH430, Who am I, that I should goH3318 unto PharaohH6547, and that I should bringH3318 forthH3318 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 outH3318 of EgyptH4714?

12And he saidH559, CertainlyH3588 I will be with thee; and this shall be the token unto thee, that I have sentH7971 thee: when thou hast broughtH3318 forthH3318 the peopleH5971 outH3318 of EgyptH4714, ye shall serveH5647 GodH430 uponH5921 this mountainH2022.

13And MosesH4872 saidH559 unto GodH430, BeholdH2009, when I comeH935 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, and shall sayH559 unto them, The GodH430 of your fathersH1 hath sentH7971 meH413 unto youH7971; and they shall sayH559 to meH413, WhatH4100 is his nameH8034? whatH4100 shall I sayH559 unto them?

14And GodH430 saidH559 unto MosesH4872, I AM THAT I AM: and he saidH559, ThusH3541 shalt thou sayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, I AM hath sentH7971 meH413 unto youH834.

15And GodH430 saidH559 moreoverH3541 unto MosesH4872, ThusH3541 shalt thou sayH559 unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478, The LORDH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, the GodH430 of IsaacH3327, and the GodH430 of JacobH3290, hath sentH7971 meH413 unto youH7971: this is my nameH8034 for everH5769, and this is my memorialH8034 unto allH1755 generationsH1755.

16GoH622, and gatherH622 the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478 togetherH622, and sayH559 unto them, The LORDH3068, the GodH430 of your fathersH1, the GodH430 of AbrahamH85, of IsaacH3327, and of JacobH3290, hath appearedH7200 unto meH413, sayingH559, I have surelyH6485 visitedH6485 youH6213, and seenH7200 that which is doneH6213 to youH6213 in EgyptH4714:

17and I have saidH559, I will bringH5927 youH853 upH5927 outH413 of the affliction of EgyptH4714 unto the landH776 of the CanaaniteH3669, and the HittiteH2850, and the AmoriteH567, and the PerizziteH6522, and the HiviteH2340, and the JebusiteH2983, unto a landH776 flowingH2100 with milkH2461 and honeyH1706.

18And they shall hearken to thy voiceH6963: and thou shalt comeH935, thou and the eldersH2205 of IsraelH3478, unto the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714, and ye shall sayH559 unto him, The LORDH3068, the GodH430 of the HebrewsH5680, hath metH7136 with usH4994: and nowH6258 letH4994 usH4994 goH935, weH3117 prayH4994 thee, threeH7969 days’H3117 journeyH1870 intoH413 the wildernessH4057, that weH3117 may sacrificeH2076 to the LORDH3068 our GodH430.

19And I knowH3045 that the kingH4428 of EgyptH4714 will notH3808 giveH5414 youH3588 leaveH1980 to goH1980, noH3808, notH3808 by a mightyH2389 handH3027.
