Scene from ''The Prince of Egypt'' (1998 DreamWorks animated film), original hebrew version.
Hebrew subtitle is available, you can turn it on.
I Am that I Am (אהיה אשר אהיה ,ehyeh asher ehyeh)
An english translation of the response God used in the Hebrew Bible when Moses asked for his name (Exodus 3:14). Kabbalists have long deemed that the Torah contains esoteric information. The response given by God is considered significant by many Kabbalists, because it is seen as proof in the divine nature of God's name, a central idea in Kabbalah (and to a lesser degree Judaism in general).
Also, here you have the same dialogue in English, too:
God: [whispering] Moses...
Moses: Here I am.
God: Take the sandals from your feet, for the place on which you stand is holy ground.
Moses: Who are you?
God: I Am that I Am.
Moses: I don't understand.
God: I am the God of your ancestors, Abraham, Issac, and Jacob.
[Moses quickly removes his sandals and throws them behind him.]
Moses: What do you want with me?
God: I have seen the oppression of my people in Egypt, and have heard their cry.
[sounds of screams and cracking whips]
So I shall stretch forth my hand, and lead them out of Egypt, and deliver them into a good land. A land flowing with milk and honey. And so, unto Pharaoh, I shall send... you.
Moses: Me? W-who am I to lead these people? They'll never believe me, they won't even listen!
God: I shall teach you what to say.
Moses: [disembodied] Let my people go!
Moses: But I was their enemy. I was the prince of Egypt, the son of the man who slaughtered... their children! You've chosen the wrong messenger! H-how can I even speak to these people?
God: Who made man's mouth? Who made the deaf, the mute, the seeing, or the blind? Did not I? Now go!
[Moses falls to the ground, cowering.]
God: [soothing, lifting Moses up] Oh, Moses, I shall be with you when you go to the king of Egypt. But Pharaoh will not listen. So I will stretch out my hand and smite Egypt with all my wonders! Take the staff in your hand, Moses. With it, you shall do my wonders! [whispering] I will be with you, Moses.
