What should I tell them?"
003:014 God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM," and he said, "You shall tell
the children of Israel this: 'I AM has sent me to you.'"
003:015 God said moreover to Moses, "You shall tell the children of
Israel this, 'Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham,
the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.'
This is my name forever, and this is my memorial to all generations.
003:016 Go, and gather the elders of Israel together, and tell them,
'Yahweh, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac,
and of Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, "I have surely
visited you, and seen that which is done to you in Egypt;
003:017 and I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction
of Egypt to the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite,
the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite,
to a land flowing with milk and honey."'
003:018 They will listen to your voice, and you shall come, you and
the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt, and you shall
tell him, 'Yahweh, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us.
Now please let us go three days' journey into the wilderness,
that we may sacrifice to Yahweh, our God.'
003:019 I know that the king of Egypt won't give you permission
to go, no, not by a mighty hand.

let you go.
003:021 I will give this people favor in the sight of the Egyptians,
and it will happen that when you go, you shall not go empty-handed.

her house, jewels of silver, jewels of gold, and clothing;
and you shall put them on your sons, and on your daughters.

He said, "A rod."
004:003 He said, "Throw it on the ground." He threw it on the ground,
and it became a snake; and Moses ran away from it.
004:004 Yahweh said to Moses, "Put forth your hand, and take it by the tail."
