I Am the Eternal

I am the Eternal. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob as God Almighty, but I was not known to them by my name: the Eternal. And also, I established my contract with them - to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their dwelling, in which they dwelled. And also, I have heard the groaning of the children of Israel whom Egypt enslaves and have remembered my contract. Therefore, say to the children of Israel: I am the Eternal. I will bring you out from under the burdens of Egypt. I will rescue you from their enslavement. I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments. I will take you to me as a people. I will be God to you. You will know that I am the Eternal your God who brought you out from under the burdens of Egypt. I will bring you to the land which I swore to give to Abraham, to Isaac and to Jacob. I will give it to you as an inheritance. I am the Eternal. - Exodus 6:2-8
