New American Standard Bible
13 Then Moses said to God, “Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you.’ Now they may say to me, ‘What is His name?’ What shall I say to them?” 14 And God said to Moses, “[a](A)I AM WHO [b]I AM”; and He said, “This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘[c]I AM has sent me to you.’” 15 God furthermore said to Moses, “This is what you shall say to the sons of Israel: ‘(B)The Lord, the 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 forever, and this is the [d](C)name for [e]all generations to use to call upon Me. 16 Go and (D)gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ‘(E)The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob has appeared to me, saying, “[f](F)I am indeed concerned about you and what has been done to you in Egypt.
