1 Yahweh said to Moses, "Now you will see that I will overcome him and oblige him to let you go, even force him to drive you out of his land."
2 God spoke to Moses saying, "I am Yahweh!
3 I appeared to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but I did not make myself known to them by the name of Yahweh.
4 I established my covenant with them promising to give them the land of Canaan, in which they lived as strangers,
5 and now I remember my covenant as I hear the groaning of the Israelites enslaved by the Egyptians.
6 Therefore say this to them: "I am Yahweh. I will take you away from the burden of Egypt and free you from its bondage; I will redeem you with the blows of my powerful hand.
7 I will take you for my people and you will know that I am Yahweh your God who delivered you from the slavery of the Egyptians.
8 I will bring you to the land I swore I would give to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and I will give it to you as your own possession. I am Yahweh."
