God replied to Moses, “I AM WHO I AM. This is what you are to say to the Israelites: I AM has sent me to you.”

The Lord asked him, “What is that in your hand?”“A staff,” he replied.

But Moses replied to the Lord, “Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent—either in the past or recently or since You have been speaking to Your servant—because I am slow and hesitant in speech.”

Moses replied to them, “Wait here until I hear what the Lord commands for you.”
