12 He said, p "But I will be with you, and this shall be the sign for you, that I have sent you: when you have brought the people out of Egypt, q you shall serve God on this mountain."

13 Then Moses said to God, "If I come to the people of Israel and say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you,' and they ask me, 'What is his name?' what shall I say to them?" 14 God said to Moses, "I am who I am." 1 And he said, "Say this to the people of Israel, r 'I am has sent me to you.'" 15 God also said to Moses, "Say this to the people of Israel, 'The Lord, 2 the s God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is t my name forever, and thus I am to be remembered throughout all generations.
