Exodus 3:9–13 · Berean Standard Bible

9 And now the cry of the Israelites has reached Me, and I have seen how severely the Egyptians are oppressing them.

10 Therefore, go! I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring My people the Israelites out of Egypt.”

11 But Moses asked God, “Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”

12 “I will surely be with you,” God said, “and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, all of you will worship God on this mountain.”

13 Then Moses asked God, “Suppose I go to the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they ask me, ‘What is His name?’ What should I tell them?”
