This is a fourth-level quotation. It should be marked in some manner that distinguishes it from the outer three levels. Alternatively, it can be translated as an indirect quotation, as in the UST.
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom
אַעֲלֶ֣ה
bring_~_up
Regardless of the geographic realities, to bring up does not primarily have a literal meaning. Rather, it means to bring the Israelites into a better situation. God promised to bring them up from their low status as slaves to a place where they would be the masters of a good land. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression from your language.
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
מֵעֳנִ֣י
out_of,misery
See how you translated affliction in 3:7. Alternate translation: “from being afflicted”
Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
חָלָ֖ב וּדְבָֽשׁ
milk and,honey
Here, milk is a metonym for domestic animals and the food products obtained from them; honey is a metonym for the food obtained from growing plants. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. The next note explains further.
Note 6 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor
אֶ֛רֶץ זָבַ֥ת חָלָ֖ב וּדְבָֽשׁ
earth/land flowing milk and,honey
God spoke of the land being good for animals and plants as if the milk and honey from those animals and plants were flowing through the land. See how you translated this in Exodus 3:8. Alternate translation: “a land that is excellent for raising livestock and growing crops” or “a land where milk and honey flow”
זָבַ֥ת
flowing
Alternate translation: “full of” or “with an abundance of”
Note 7 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
חָלָ֖ב
milk
Since milk comes from cows and goats, this represents food produced by livestock. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “food from livestock”
Note 8 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy
וּדְבָֽשׁ
and,honey
Since honey is produced from flowers, this represents food from crops. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent expression or plain language. Alternate translation: “food from crops”
3:13-22 Moses’ second protest was that he had inadequate knowledge. He did not know God’s name. This might mean that God’s personal name had not yet been revealed (see study notes on 6:2-3). It is also possible that Moses meant he did not know the secret, magic formula that a man of power might have been expected to make use of. Interest in such things was common in the ancient Near East. God’s direct response is almost a riddle, but the majority of his answer is a statement of his faithfulness in the past and a demonstration of his knowledge of the future. There is nothing magical about the name Yahweh. Knowledge of secret formulas and magic powers is not the issue; the issue is the character of God and his lordship of history. The reason there is “something about that name” is because of the incomparable character and nature of the one who bears it.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
