A Commission to Egypt

7Then Yahweh said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt, and I have heard their cry because of their oppressors, for I know their sufferings.”

8And I have come down to deliver him from the hand of Egypt and to bring him up from that land to a good and broad land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite.

9And now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them.

10And now, come, and I will send you to Pharaoh, and bring my people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt.
