Exodus 3:18-20

English Standard Version

¹⁸ And ^(A)they will listen to your voice, and you and the elders of Israel ^(B)shall go to the king of Egypt and say to him, ‘The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has ^(C)met with us; and now, please let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God.’ ¹⁹ But I know that the king of Egypt ^(D)will not let you go unless compelled ^(E)by a mighty hand.^{[a] 20} So ^(F)I will stretch out my hand and strike Egypt with ^(G)all the wonders that I will do in it; ^(H)after that he will let you go.
