MOSES TELLS THE ELDERS OF ISRAEL THAT YHVH WILL REDEEM HIS PEOPLE

Exodus 3:16 Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say unto them, The LORD God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared unto me, saying, I have surely visited you and seen that which is done to you in Egypt:

Exodus 3:17 And I have said, I will bring you up out of the affliction of Egypt unto the land of the Canaanites … unto a land flowing with milk and honey.

Exodus 3:18 And they shall hearken to your voice: and you shall come, your and the elders of Israel, unto the king of Egypt, and you shall say unto him, The LORD God of the Hebrews has met with us: and now let us go, we beseech thee, three days' journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.
