Then He continued, “I am the God of your father,[a] the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.”(A) Moses hid his face because he was afraid to look at God.

Then the Lord said, “I have observed the misery of My people in Egypt, and have heard them crying out(B) because of their oppressors, and I know about their sufferings. I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and to bring them from that land to a good and spacious land, a land flowing with milk and honey(C)—the territory of the Canaanites, Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.(D) The Israelites’ cry for help has come to Me, and I have also seen the way the Egyptians are oppressing(E) them. 10 Therefore, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh so that you may lead My people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.”
