Leviticus 26:45
But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the LORD.
KJV
et recordabor fœderis mei pristini, quando eduxi eos de terra Ægypti in conspectu gentium, ut essem Deus eorum. Ego Dominus. Hæc sunt judicia atque præcepta et leges quas dedit Dominus inter se et filios Israël in monte Sinai per manum Moysi.
Vulgate
καὶ μνησθήσομαι αὐτῶν τῆς διαθήκης τῆς προτέρας ὅτε ἐξήγαγον αὐτοὺς ἐκ γῆς Αἰγύπτου ἐξ οἴκου δουλίας ἔναντι τῶν ἐθνῶν, τοῦ εἶναι αὐτῶν θεός· ἐγώ εἰμι Κύριος.
LXX
but I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the nations, that I might be their God: I am Jehovah.
