12 He answered, “I will certainly be with you,(B) and this will be the sign to you that I have sent you: when you bring the people out of Egypt, you will all worship[a] God at this mountain.”

13 Then Moses asked God, “If 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?”

14 God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM.[b](C) This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.”
