10. And now come, and I will send you to Pharaoh, and you must bring my people, the Israelites, out from Egypt.”
11. But Moses said to God, “Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh and that I should bring the Israelites out from Egypt?”
12. And he said, “Because I am with you, and this will be the sign for you that I myself have sent you: When you bring the people out from Egypt, you will serve God on this mountain.”
13. But Moses said to God, “Look, if I go to the Israelites and I say to them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is his name?’ then what shall I say to them?”
14. And God said to Moses, “I am that I am.” And he said, “So you must say to the Israelites, ‘I am sent me to you.’ ”
