9 And behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me, and I see the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

10 Therefore go: I will send you to Pharaoh [king of Egypt]; and bring my people out of Egypt, the children of Israel.

11 Moses said to God, 'Who am I, that I should go to Pharaoh [king of Egypt], and bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?

12 And [God] said, 'I will be with you, and this is a sign to you that I have sent you: when you bring [my] people out of Egypt, you will serve God on this mountain.'

13 And Moses said to God, 'Behold, I will come to the children of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' And they will say to me, What is His name? What should I say to them?

14 God said to Moses, "I am I that I am." And he said, Thus say to the children of Israel, The Eternal has sent me to you.

15 And God said again to Moses, 'Thus say to the children of Israel, 'The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob has sent me to you.' This is My name for ever, and the remembrance of Me from generation to generation.

16 Go and gather together the elders of Israel, and say to them, 'The Lord, the God of your fathers, has appeared to me, the God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, and said, 'I have visited you, and I have seen what is done to you in Egypt.'

17 And he said, 'I will bring you out of the oppression of Egypt into the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, into a land flowing with milk and honey.'

18 И они послушают голоса твоего, и пойдешь ты и старейшины Израилевы к [фараону] царю Египетскому, и скажете ему: Господь, Бог Евреев, призвал нас; итак отпусти нас в пустыню, на три дня пути, чтобы принести жертву Господу, Богу нашему.

19 Но Я знаю, что [фараон] царь Египетский не позволит вам идти, если не принудить его рукою крепкою;

20 и простру руку Мою и поражу Египет всеми чудесами Моими, которые сделаю среди его; и после того он отпустит вас.

21 И дам народу сему милость в глазах Египтян; и когда пойдете, то пойдете не с пустыми руками:

22 каждая женщина выпросит у соседки своей и у живущей в доме ее вещей серебряных и вещей золотых, и одежд, и вы нарядите ими и сыновей ваших и дочерей ваших, и оберете Египтян.
