Exodus 3:18 in Context — Exodus 3

16 Vai, e junta os anciãos de Israel, e dize-lhes: O SENHOR, o Deus de vossos pais, o Deus de Abraão, de Isaque, e de Jacó, me apareceu, dizendo: Certamente vos visitei, e vi o que se faz convosco no Egito;

17 E disse: Eu vos tirarei da aflição do Egito à terra dos cananeus, e dos heteus, e dos amorreus, e dos perizeus, e dos heveus, e dos jebuseus, a uma terra que flui leite e mel.

18 E ouvirão tua voz; e irás tu, e os anciãos de Israel, ao rei do Egito, e lhe direis: O SENHOR, o Deus dos hebreus, nos encontrou; portanto nós iremos agora caminho de três dias pelo deserto, para que sacrifiquemos ao SENHOR nosso Deus.

19 Mas eu sei que o rei do Egito não vos deixará ir a não ser por mão forte.

20 Porém eu estenderei minha mão, e ferirei ao Egito com todas minhas maravilhas que farei nele, e então vos deixará ir.
