And say unto them, Thus saith the Lord GOD; In the day when I chose Israel, and lifted up mine hand unto the seed of the house of Jacob, and made myself known unto them in the land of Egypt, when I lifted up mine hand unto them, saying, I am the LORD your God;
And tell them, The Lord God says: When I chose Israel and promised protection to the descendants of Jacob's family, I revealed myself to them in Egypt. I raised my hand and said, "I am the LORD, your God."
