Exodus 3:9

Yahweh's Plan To Rescue The Israelites

⁸ And I have come down to deliver them from the hand of [the] Egyptians and to bring them up from this land to a good and wide land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites. ⁹ And now, look, the cry of distress of the {Israelites} has come to me, and also I see the oppression [with] which [the] Egyptians [are] oppressing them. ¹⁰ And now come, and I will send you to Pharaoh, and [you must] bring my people, the {Israelites}, out from Egypt."
