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.
📚 Historical Context
This verse occurs during Moses' encounter with God at the burning bush on Mount Horeb (also called Mount Sinai). Moses had just expressed his doubts about being qualified to lead the Israelites out of Egyptian slavery. God responds with both a promise of His presence and a future sign that would confirm His calling - the Israelites would indeed return to this sacred mountain to worship after their exodus from Egypt.
