And Moses said unto God, “Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and
that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?...”
And Moses said unto God, “Behold, when I am come unto the children of
Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me
unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say
unto them?”
And God said unto Moses, “_I am That I Am_;” and he said, “Thus shalt
thou say unto the children of Israel, _I Am_ hath sent me unto you.”
“And God said, moreover, unto Moses, Thus shalt thou say unto the
children of Israel, The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, hath sent me unto you: this is
my name forever, and this is my memorial unto all generations.”
Then the denizen of the bush renewed his instructions and his promises,
assuring Moses that he would bring him and his following out of the
land of affliction of Egypt and into the land of the Canaanites, and the
Hittites, and the Amorites, and others, unto a land flowing with milk
and honey. In a word to Palestine. And he insisted to Moses that he
should gain an entrance to Pharaoh, and that he should tell him that
“the Lord God of the Hebrews hath met with us: and now let us go, we
beseech thee, three days’ journey into the wilderness, that we may
sacrifice to the Lord our God.”
Also God did not pretend to Moses that the King of Egypt would forthwith
let them go; whereupon he would work his wonders in Egypt and after that
Pharaoh would let them go.
