6 Et il ajouta: Je suis le Dieu de ton père, le Dieu d’Abraham, le Dieu d’Isaac et le Dieu de Jacob. Moïse se cacha le visage, car il craignait de regarder Dieu.

7 L’Éternel dit: J’ai vu la souffrance de mon peuple qui est en Égypte, et j’ai entendu les cris que lui font pousser ses oppresseurs, car je connais ses douleurs.

8 Je suis descendu pour le délivrer de la main des Égyptiens, et pour le faire monter de ce pays dans un bon et vaste pays, dans un pays où coulent le lait et le miel, dans les lieux qu’habitent les Cananéens, les Héthiens, les Amoréens, les Phéréziens, les Héviens et les Jébusiens.

9 Voici, les cris d’Israël sont venus jusqu’à moi, et j’ai vu l’oppression que leur font souffrir les Égyptiens.

10 Maintenant, va, je t’enverrai auprès de Pharaon, et tu feras sortir d’Égypte mon peuple, les enfants d’Israël.
