And he said, Certainly I will be with thee; and this shall be a token unto thee, that I have sent thee: When thou hast brought forth the people out of Egypt, ye shall serve God upon this mountain.
And God said, 'I will definitely be with you. Here's how you'll know that I sent you: after you bring the people out of Egypt, you will all worship God on this very mountain.'
God is promising Moses that He will be with him and gives him a sign to prove it - they will return to worship at the same mountain where God is speaking to him now.

This event highlights God's direct involvement in Israel's history, emphasizing His covenant relationship with His chosen people.
