¹⁴ And God said to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.” And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ^(A)‘I AM has sent me to you.’ ” ¹⁵ Moreover God said to Moses, “Thus you shall 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 ^(B)My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations.’ ¹⁶ Go and ^(C)gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, ^(D)“I have surely visited you and seen what is done to you in Egypt; ¹⁷ and I have said ^(E)I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt to the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, to a land flowing with milk and honey.” ’

² And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am ^[a]the Lord. ^3 (A)I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as ^(B)God Almighty, but by My name ^(C)Lord^[b] I was not known to them. ^4 (D)I have also ^[c]established My covenant with them, ^(E)to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their ^[d]pilgrimage, ^(F)in which they were ^[e]strangers. ⁵ And ^(G)I have also heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant. ⁶ Therefore say to the children of Israel: ^(H)‘I am the Lord; ^(I)I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will ^(J)rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with ^[f]an outstretched arm and with great judgments. ⁷ I will ^(K)take you as My people, and ^(L)I will be your God. Then you shall know that I am the Lord your God who brings you out ^(M)from under the burdens of the Egyptians. ⁸ And I will bring you into the land which I ^(N)swore^[g] to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you as a heritage: I am the Lord.’ ”
