Exodus 3:12-14

Expanded Bible

¹² God said, “I will be with you. This will be the ·proof [sign] that I am sending you: After you lead the people out of Egypt, all of you will ·worship me [^Lserve God] on this mountain.”

¹³ Moses said to God, “When I go to the Israelites, I will say to them, ‘The God of your ancestors sent me to you.’ What if the people say, ‘What is his name [^Cnames signified a person’s essence, character, or reputation]?’ What should I tell them?”

¹⁴ Then God said to Moses, “I Am Who I Am” [^CThese Hebrew words are related to the name Yahweh, usually translated “Lord,” and suggest that God eternally lives and is always with his people]. When you go to the people of Israel, tell them, ‘I Am sent me to you.’”
