even to the bringing of them to the knowledge of the covenants

which I have made with thy fathers.

which shall have already gone forth among them.

I will raise up a Moses;

and I will give power unto him in a rod;

and I will make a spokesman for him.

and the spokesman of thy loins shall declare it.

for I know their faith.

even according to the words which I have spoken.

Remember the words of thy dying father.

Amen.
