7. Then the Lord said, “I have seen how cruelly my people are being treated in Egypt; I have heard them cry out to be rescued from their slave-drivers. I know all about their sufferings,
8. and so I have come down to rescue them from the Egyptians and to bring them out of Egypt to a spacious land, one which is rich and fertile and in which the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites now live.
9. I have indeed heard the cry of my people, and I see how the Egyptians are oppressing them.
10. Now I am sending you to the king of Egypt so that you can lead my people out of his country.”
11. But Moses said to God, “I am nobody. How can I go to the king and bring the Israelites out of Egypt?”
