Bible verse for August 9

⁸ I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and to lead them up from that land into a fine, wide land, a land flowing with milk and honey, the region of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. ⁹ Now look, the outcry of the Israelites has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression the Egyptians are inflicting on them. ¹⁰ Come now, I will send you to Pharaoh, and you are to bring my people, the Israelites, out of Egypt.” ¹¹ Moses replied to God, “Who am I to go to Pharaoh and to bring the Israelites out of Egypt?” ¹² God answered, “I will certainly be with you, and here is the sign for you that I am the one who sent you: after you bring the people out of Egypt, all of you will worship God at this mountain.” ¹³ Moses said to God, “Suppose I come to the Israelites and tell them, ‘The God of your ancestors has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is his name?’ How am I to answer them?” ¹⁴ God said to Moses, “I am who I am.” Then he said, “This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘I Am has sent me to you.’” ¹⁵ God also said to Moses, “This is what you are to say to the Israelites: ‘Yahweh, the God of your ancestors, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.’ This is my name for all time, and by this I am to be remembered generation after generation.
