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!”
9 When Moses told this to the Israelites, they were too discouraged and ill-treated to believe him.
10 Then the Lord told Moses
11 to demand that the king of Egypt let the Israelites leave.
12 But Moses replied, “I'm not a powerful speaker. If the Israelites won't listen to me, why should the king of Egypt?”
13 But the Lord sent Aaron and Moses with a message for the Israelites and for the king; he also ordered Aaron and Moses to free the people from Egypt.
