Exodus 3:13 in Context — Exodus 3

11 Moïse dit à Dieu: Qui suis-je, pour aller vers Pharaon, et pour faire sortir d’Égypte les enfants d’Israël?

12 Dieu dit: Je serai avec toi; et ceci sera pour toi le signe que c’est moi qui t’envoie: quand tu auras fait sortir d’Égypte le peuple, vous servirez Dieu sur cette montagne.

13 Moïse dit à Dieu: J’irai donc vers les enfants d’Israël, et je leur dirai: Le Dieu de vos pères m’envoie vers vous. Mais, s’ils me demandent quel est son nom, que leur répondrai-je?

14 Dieu dit à Moïse: Je suis celui qui suis. Et il ajouta: C’est ainsi que tu répondras aux enfants d’Israël: Celui qui s’appelle “je suis” m’a envoyé vers vous.

15 Dieu dit encore à Moïse: Tu parleras ainsi aux enfants d’Israël: L’Éternel, le Dieu de vos pères, le Dieu d’Abraham, le Dieu d’Isaac et le Dieu de Jacob, m’envoie vers vous. Voilà mon nom pour l’éternité, voilà mon nom de génération en génération.
