The Lord's word to Moses when he spoke to him from the burning bush:
"Then the Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites." (Exodus 3:7-8)
And further on in Exodus 29:
"They will know that I am the Lord their God, who brought them out of Egypt so that I might dwell among them. I am the Lord their God." (Exodus 29:46)
