And the LORD said unto Moses, Depart, and go up hence, thou and the people which thou hast brought up out of the land of Egypt, unto the land which I sware unto Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will I give it:
And the LORD said to Moses, 'Leave this place and go up from here, you and the people you brought out of Egypt, to the land I promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob when I said, I will give this land to your descendants.'
God is telling Moses and the Israelites to continue their journey to the promised land that He had sworn to give to Abraham's family generations earlier.
