2 My name is the Lord.
3 But when I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, I came as God All-Powerful and did not use my name.
4 I made an agreement and promised them the land of Canaan, where they were living as foreigners.
5 Now I have seen how the people of Israel are suffering because of the Egyptians, and I will keep my promise.
6 Here is my message for Israel: “I am the Lord! And with my mighty power I will punish the Egyptians and free you from slavery.
7 I will accept you as my people, and I will be your God. Then you will know that I was the one who rescued you from the Egyptians.
8 I will bring you into the land that I solemnly promised Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and it will be yours. I am the Lord!”
