¹³ Moses said to 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?’^(E) Then what shall I tell them?”

¹⁶ “Go, assemble the elders^(K) of Israel and say to them, ‘The Lord, the God of your fathers—the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob^(L)—appeared to me and said: I have watched over you and have seen^(M) what has been done to you in Egypt. ¹⁷ And I have promised to bring you up out of your misery in Egypt^(N) into the land of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—a land flowing with milk and honey.’^(O)
