Then God again spoke to Moses,And he spoke in a voice of thunder:I am the Lord God Almighty,I am the God of thy fathers,I am the God of Abraham,Of Isaac and of Jacob.And Moses hid his face.
And God said to Moses:I've seen the awful sufferingOf my people down in Egypt.I've watched their hard oppressors,Their overseers and drivers;The groans of my people have filled my earsAnd I can't stand it no longer;So I'm come down to deliver themOut of the land of Egypt,And I will bring them out of that landInto the land of Canaan;Therefore, Moses, go down,Go down into Egypt,And tell Old PharaohTo let my people go.
And Moses said: Lord, who am ITo make a speech before Pharaoh?For, Lord, you know I'm slow of tongue.But God said: I will be thy mouth and I will be thy tongue;Therefore, Moses, go down,Go down yonder into Egypt land,
