    It's hard to be specific without knowing the exact chapter and verse you are reading. But I hope the following helps:

    EXODUS

    I Will Bring You Out (Exodus 6:6a).

    I Will Deliver You (Exodus 6:6b).

    I Will Redeem You (Exodus 6:6c).

    I Will Take You For My People (Exodus 6:7a).

    I Will Be Your God (Exodus 6:7b).

    I Will Bring You to the Land(Exodus 6:8a).

    I Will Give The Land to You For a Possession

    NUMBERS

    1. God is with us always, if we are his people. He guides and protects us. (The Ark and the Cloud) (Numbers 10:33-36).

    2. God wants us to trust him.He had to punish their disobedience and lack of trust.(Numbers chapters 13 and 14).(Numbers 14:26-35). God disciplines those people whom he loves (Hebrews 12:6).

    3. There is only one real God. Do not worship idols (Numbers chapter 25).

    4. God always keeps his promises.(They arrived at the *Promised Land. But they were afraid to enter it. However, God did not take back his promise. Instead, he gave the Promised Land to their children.)

    5. God is utterly holy. God is different from people, whom he made. This was demonstrated in various methods of ritual cleansings and sacrifices to God that were to be performed. God forgives our sins.
