1. One day, Moses was taking care of the sheep and goats of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian, and Moses decided to lead them across the desert to Sinai, the holy mountain.
10. Now go to the king! I am sending you to lead my people out of his country.
11. But Moses said, “Who am I to go to the king and lead your people out of Egypt?”
12. God replied, “I will be with you. And you will know that I am the one who sent you, when you worship me on this mountain after you have led my people out of Egypt.”
13. Moses answered, “I will tell the people of Israel that the God their ancestors worshipped has sent me to them. But what should I say, if they ask me your name?”
14-15. God said to Moses:I am the eternal God. So tell them that the Lord, whose name is “I Am”, has sent you. This is my name for ever, and it is the name that people must use from now on.
